    Re: How to Rotate the Screen for a TX2000 Tablet PC

    Man, you guys are super-cool. I've got automagick rotation working, and I just installed fglrx again. That seems to be working as well.

    I would like to do 3D in portrait. I understand that I need to incorporate some of the lines from the compiz_off script into the .automagic_rotation script. I'm just not entirely sure of which ones and where to put them, as I really on dabble in this stuff. I'm also still a bit shell-shocked from when I dove into Ubuntu head-first on this machine a week after 8.10 came out. So I like to make sure before making any moves. Suggestions?

    Hi Docaltmed,

    Good to hear from you again. Could you tell me whether you're using the applet or the script? And either way what commands you may already have in either (Advanced Settings in the applet) and where?

    Hi Favux!

    I'm using the .automagic_rotation script from your How-to on the first page. I'm using it stock, with no changes. I haven't used the Compiz_off script at all, since I just worked up the courage to install fglrx today.

    Hi Docaltmed,

    This should work but because I have nvidia I didn't test it. Good Luck!

    Thank you Favux! It worked like a charm.

    I looked at the file, and I see I was trying to make things more difficult than they needed to be.

    Hi Docaltmed,

    Wow, great! Auto-magic rotation with ATI's "fglrx" and Compiz!

    Re: How to Rotate the Screen for a TX2000 Tablet PC

    Hi, i wonder if I can rotate screen with a tx2 and an up-to-date jaunty with fglrx.

    fglrx: 2:8.600-0ubuntu2
    xserver: 1:7.4~5ubuntu18

    I applied the ATI settings from 1st page and also tried with RandR option but it shows me a black screen and I can only see the mouspointer moving. On restoring to normal everything is visible again. Result is the same with metacity/compiz. Used command is "xrandr -o inverted". Any hints?

    Hi tekknokrat,

    You should be able to rotate with that if you've run the aticonfig command. You don't need the "RandRRotation" option in xorg.conf, that's for nVidia.

    The thing to keep in mind is that you can't rotate with "fglrx" with Compiz active. Compiz is OK in landscape but things mess up when you rotate into portrait. So either don't use Compiz or use the Compiz off script to shut Compiz off before you rotate. When you rotate back to landscape you can turn Compiz back on.

    Now with Inverted I'm not sure how "fglrx" and Compiz get along. You'd think they'd be OK. But from what you're saying, maybe not.

    Hey, thanks for the guide. I used method 1, rearranged so that it rotates clockwise.

    Also wrote up a quick .desktop so I could put it into panel with an icon. You'd want to use the counterclockwise icon. Obviously, replace /path/to/script.

    Code:
    [Desktop Entry]
    Categories=Application;
    Comment[en_US]=Rotate the Screen
    Comment=Rotate the Screen
    Exec=/path/to/script/rotate
    GenericName[en_US]=
    GenericName=
    Icon=/usr/share/icons/default.kde4/48x48/actions/object-rotate-right.png
    MimeType=
    Name[en_US]=Rotate
    Name=Rotate
    Path=
    StartupNotify=true
    Terminal=false
    TerminalOptions=
    Type=Application
    X-DBUS-ServiceName=
    X-DBUS-StartupType=
    X-KDE-SubstituteUID=false
    X-KDE-Username=

    Hi Nphyx,

    You're welcome.

    Thanks for that .desktop! KDE has rotation icons? I'm envious.

    Glad you're getting your TX2z set up. Neat that touch is working so well in Karmic.
