Screen rotation applet
« on: April 09, 2004, 01:34:33 pm »
Here is a simple screen rotation app, it won\'t work if you use matchbox, but only with Xfce.

http://151.1.32.173/~fiore/pdaxrom/rotatio....1_armv5tel.ipk

Invoke it with /usr/local/bin/rotation

To use it under matchbox you need to comment the lines

<keybind key=\"Sys_Req\">
  <action name=\"Execute\"><execute>chkhinge</execute></action>
</keybind>

using <!--- and -->

in /etc/xdg/openbox/rc.xml.

Note that this will disable auto-rotation, but will let you choose 4 different rotation options.

Also please disable the rotation bash script i described in the xfce4 post.

If someone is interested i\'ll manage to make a \"dockable\" version of this which also support autorotation and preferences.

When it comes to me, I would rather like to have auto-rotation with the ability to override it; for instance, when I want to browse the web in the landscape orientation, but with the Zaurus closed. This was possible with qtopia, which incuded the manual rotation option in the menu. The ability to arbitrarily rotate the screen in four orientations would be an added bonus.
