Of couse I would implement a dbus handler for that message, much like I handle the fullscreen key press event.

If you make it, I hereby promise I will handle it :)

Moreover, I will add the rotate support anyway, for people that want to old the tablet like a note book.

Re: Automatic screen rotate for N810
 
I got automatic rotation working (Score!), but the [- | +] rocker switch on my n810 dosent seem to remap to page up and page down. Coincidentally, I cant seem to update 'sliderotate' to .16 (Using the App Manager anyway). The tablet says downloading and then installing, then it just says "Unable to update sliderotate." I think this is probably why it wont remap the buttons, but I dont know how to fix it. I currently have .15 installed.

Darn, no luck for me. The OS rotates, but the screen doesnt.

Hi there,

I have been trying to install via the sliderotate but have this problem.

"The following packages have unmet dependencies:
silderotate: Depends: xmodmap but it is not installable
E:Broken Packages"

Please help.

Wow that was super easy! Thank You!

Your One-Click-Install is fast and painless even for a relative n00b like myself.

Thanks again

It works great for me. I use it with Google Reader, mainly.
