Hi!

I recently bought a HP Elitebook 2710p. Its one of those tablet laptops that has a screen that swivels around. It came with windows vista on it, but I hated it, so I put Ubuntu 12.04 on it. Now it works great, the only problem is that the screen wont automatically rotate anymore. I had it in Windows so that the screen would switch to portrait mode when I switched it into a tablet, but now when I do it, it just stays in landscape. Any ideas on how to fix this?

Hi Jake (DoctorLumpy),

Sure, use one of the rotation scripts on the Rotation HOW TO (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=996830).
