Noted. Thanks

Re: Automatic screen rotate for N810
 

Update: version 0.0.25diablo
-removed dependency for rootsh (thanks for the idea Urho)
-automatic (re)installation for required packages by sliderotatesettings.
(SSU breaks rotation, reinstallation re-enables it)
-removed the need to start xterm and gain root access to install the required packages.
-automatic launch of sliderotatesettings if you try to rotate before installing the required kernel and xserver-xomap.
(also a minor annoyance for anyone updating from previous version, you will have to either (re)install the packages using the button or issue to make sliderotate stop launching sliderotatesettings when trying to rotate.

My N810 4.2008.30-2 no longer rotates when I press the power button. Any idea why? Will any other button trigger the rotation?
Thanks

If you just upgraded via SSU, you will have to go to Extras ->Sliderotatesettings and press the (re)install xrandr-kernel -button to re-enable the rotation.

emjayes: I had to reflash a couple of weeks ago and just ran your new installation. Worked perfect. It's definitely a no-brainer now. Anybody should be able to do it. Great job!

I just did that, and think I found a bug. If I uncheck the zoom option and save, it won't rotate, but it will when I recheck it and save.

Just a note, writing to sudoers directly is dirty :)

How about instead making a file called
/etc/sudoers.d/sliderotate.sudoers :
user ALL = NOPASSWD: /usr/local/bin/install-xrandr-kernel

And calling update-sudoers || true from the postinst?

Re: Automatic screen rotate for N810
 

New version: 0.0.26diablo

Bugfix: Unchecking "Make Zoom..." stopped rotation working is now fixed.
Root access fixed as per qwerty12's note.

Re: Automatic screen rotate for N810
 

New version: 0.0.27diablo
Bugfix: Using sounds should not drain battery as much as before.
