accelerometer + screen rotation on non-touchscreen laptop?

I've recently got a non-touchscreen hp laptop with a hdd accelerometer. After upgrading it to Debian testing I noticed that whenever I tilt my laptop upwards past +45 deg, the screen rotates upside down. The opposite happens when I tilt my laptop -45 deg. To clarify, I am facing my laptop with the screen facing me with the keyboard parallel to the ground. The screen also rotates whenever I tilt my laptop clockwise or counterclockwise. Is there a file where I can edit to change the screen's rotational direction? The accelerometer in /proc/bus/input/devices shows this: I: Bus=0019 Vendor=0000 Product=0000 Version=0000 N: Name="ST LIS3LV02DL Accelerometer" P: Phys=lis3lv02d/input0 S: Sysfs=/devices/platform/lis3lv02d/input/input7 U: Uniq= H: Handlers=event6 js0 B: PROP=0 B: EV=9 B: ABS=7 EDIT: I found that watch -n 1 'cat /sys/devices/platform/lis3lv02d/position' is similar to what is found with the command below. Except it just displays coordinates such as (18,18,1098). evtest /dev/input/event6 shows this: william@wksp0:~/Downloads$ sudo evtest /dev/input/event6 Input driver version is 1.0.1 Input device ID: bus 0x19 vendor 0x0 product 0x0 version 0x0 Input device name: "ST LIS3LV02DL Accelerometer" Supported events: Event type 0 (EV_SYN) Event type 3 (EV_ABS) Event code 0 (ABS_X) Value 20 Min -2304 Max 2304 Fuzz 18 Flat 18 Event code 1 (ABS_Y) Value -38 Min -2304 Max 2304 Fuzz 18 Flat 18 Event code 2 (ABS_Z) Value 1105 Min -2304 Max 2304 Fuzz 18 Flat 18 Properties: Testing ...
