Re: Automatic screen rotate for N810
 

Do we need to re-run the install-xandr-kernel executable/script again if we just update from a previous version ?

Re: Automatic screen rotate for N810
 

No, only first timers will have to to that.
Must edit the postinst script to reflect that someday :D

Re: Automatic screen rotate for N810
 

The Application Manager calls different script whether the user is upgrading, fist time installing or removing a script.
You may want to check out how the tutorials.

I do have to follow them as well :)

Re: Automatic screen rotate for N810
 

I've been waiting to install this for a long time! Working now with a fresh Diablo flash. I have python installed, but when I click on your initial install link, app manager says that the following Application packages are missing: xrandr, flash-and-reboot, initfs-flasher, kernel-diablo-flasher.

Is this because I have to add "chinook" as the distribution in certain repositories? If so, which ones? Thanks!

UPDATE: Added your repo and did apt-get update and apt-get -f install, and all seems well, except I still can't seem to snag xrandr....

Re: Automatic screen rotate for N810
 

Adding 'diablo chinook' to the rotate repo should do it. The only problem I have had thus far is that flashing the kernel results in the boot sequence not getting past the nokia splash screen. I've tried it twice so I don't think it was my install and it worked fine pre-diablo. Any ideas?

Re: Automatic screen rotate for N810
 

the kernel is way too different in diablo as is the xserver-xomap too.
using chinook kernel will not help, you will not get past the flash screen.

I am currently in summer vacation, so development is pretty much in halt.

If you want rotation now, use chinook, if you want diablo, be patient. All good things etc.

I have asked an iNDT manager, that I know in person , to bundle the kernel and server as installable package. Let's see if they want to do it now that diablo is out.

Re: Automatic screen rotate for N810
 

Or you could install without slide-rotation until this is made functional for diablo. Instructions here.

Re: Automatic screen rotate for N810
 

Here, I've rebuilt the xserver and kernel for diablo (this is the diablo kernel and the xserver from diablo, no chinook stuff present):

If you want to have a go at installing this in diablo, make sure you don't flash the xserver and kernel (both chinook components) that come with sliderotate.

Re: Automatic screen rotate for N810
 

I'm newbie for tablets. Got my N810 today :)

I installed the sliderotate, and it installed perfectly.
But then I try to run "./install-xrandr-kernel" and it says "/bin/sh: ./install-xrandr-kernell: not found"

Do I need to download the package somewhere?

EDIT:

Ok. I found the problem. I haven't flashed the kernel :D

Is there a way to flash it with Windows. I don't have a Linux computer :(
