Regarding rotation, I saw some references to x11-xserver-utils and xrandr to get rotation working.
I have both but changing the orientation of my SL-C860 doesn't do anything. Is there something I'm missing? Thanks! Mike |

I suspect the /etc/zaurusd/... scripts aren't correct for the SL-Cxx0 models, and I don't know how to fix them (you could try taking them from Angstrom, I believe they work there).
Have you tried manually doing the rotation, eg: CODE xrander -o n where 0 <= n <= 3? |

Thanks for the reply!
doing a manual rotate works but swinging the screen does nothing. 1 - portrait 0 - landscape The events don't seem to trigger. - Mike |

You're right, the hinge detection is b0rked somehow. I will have a look to find out if this can easily be fixed.
The same applies by the way to the Spitz and Akita models, auto-rotation doesn't work on these either. |

something about landscape mode in console-only mode, it boots in portrait mode and this trick is only for X i think

Have you tried manually doing the rotation, eg: CODE xrander -o n where 0 <= n <= 3? I think the problem is with the X authorization. Run: CODE xhost + this will enable free access to the X server. Also, I don't remember, but I think the states were switched in /etc/zaurusd/scripts/zaurus-hinge.conf in my case state 0 is landscape and state 2 is portrait. update: After rebooting there was no problem with the authorization.
