Deactivate accelerometer

I am having some trouble using games that use joysticks because my laptop has an accelerometer (I don't have the slightest idea why this might be useful on a laptop), and it's interfeering with joysticks. Linux finds it in /dev/input/js0
I would like to know how to disable/enable this so games or other things don't detect it.
Thank you very much.

The accelerometer detects when you drop your laptop, and quickly stops the HDD to minimize damage. That probably doesn't work on Linux. See here.

Ok, that seems like a good use xD. I again doubt that works on Linux. I just want to disable it.

A better solution is to unload hp_accel module: sudo modprobe -r hp_accel
If you don't want your system to load the module at every boot, simply blacklist it adding the following line to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf:
blacklist hp_accel

This will disable the HDD protection which I would not do unless I have an SSD
