Good news! That means we can emulate the DX and DXG auto rotate feature by running a background script to periodically check /dev/accelerometer, and when it changes we can force a screen refresh event. Screensaver mode needs special handling, as can be seen in some of the init scripts, so there may be some added complexity, but it is certainly doable.
