Rotation On Cacko/sl-c1000
« on: January 21, 2007, 09:22:16 am »
When browsing in tablet mode, I would prefer the screen to be oriented 180 degrees from what it currently is..........so that the sl-c1000 in my left hand has the wifi card pointing away from my wrist, not into it. Has anyone modified their rotation, and can they provide a howto please?
Thanks.

I think the qpe.sh script or one of them defines the rotation. I'll take a look later and post if something turns up ...
Snappy!

A 180 degree change to the rotation would also place the jog wheel in a more useable position for me.

Rotation On Cacko/sl-c1000

ok guys, sorry for the delay...

here's what I found ...
I believe the following code fragment in /home/QtPalmtop/qpe.sh determines the rotation, or at least on start up of QT.
Code: [Select]
   chkhinge
    if [ $? -eq 2 ]
    then
      export QWS_DISPLAY="Transformed:Rot90:Vga:0"
    fi

I tried looking for the rotation command and/or event handler which would call the 'chkhinge' function but so far only came to a "__rotate" function call. I think this is a qcop function call as I did not find any such executable bin anywhere so far.

Any experts out there who know where the event handler script for rotate or hinge open close is?

I'll post back if I find something.
Snappy!
