I'm new to github and making programs in Linux, so could someone please tell me what I need to do, in order to make this work, or where I can read about it? I downloaded the files, what then? Thank you.

First, figure out what you need. You shouldn't need any of the kernel
modules, as they should all be in recent Linux kernels.

Then read the README.md file and follow the instructions there for what you need.

Thanks for answering, Peter. I got as far as succeeding in running make. I'm either not done with setting this up on my yoga, or something is not working right for me, because nothing happens, when I rotate the laptop.
I have a sneaking suspicion that I'm asking less than intelligent questions here, but I really am at a loss. What needs to be done further?
Thanks so much in advance.

If you have successfully made programs-install you then need to actually run
the program. That's actually not in the instructions.

And could I ask what the correct command to run the program is, as it's not in the readme?

orientation
(from the directory you built them in)

As stated earlier the orientation program is called orientation. It should
end up in /usr/bin

I've updated the readme

Thanks so much. I got it working from terminal. I bet there is a way to make this run at startup?

You can add the command to Startup Applications

Hey jymbob
Thanks for the quick reply.
I already added /usr/bin/orientation as the command in startup applications, but nothing happens

The program may be stalled waiting to output something. However, I haven't
tried the program this way so I'm not sure of this.

I'll have a play over the weekend and see if I can get it reliably starting
