It says I need root access, any idea where to get gainroot or another program that would give root access?

How do I get back clicking the power bar to rotate?

Re: How to rotate screen on os2008
 

I assume you got this by installing sliderotate. Qwerty12's compilation/method is different. I believe the author of sliderotate said he was on vacation and could not recompile it for diablo at present. Search forums for this--perhaps there has been progress since I read the relevant thread a few days ago.

I also assume you're using an n800, since otherwise you'd be asking for the rotation-upon-keyboard-slide-out, instead of just when the power button is pressed. If so, while the power button is nice, sliderotate doesn't (I think) support rotation to the right. I find rotation to the right to be superior than to the left, since that leaves the d-pad near the thumb. But to each his/her own.

You can run:
cat /mnt/initfs/etc/initfs_version and the version will be shown, you can then see the version displayed on the initfs file.

Don't think so :/. All this was around at chinook time and nokia never added it into diablo.

The xserver or kernel wasn't installed. The applet is programmed not to display if the xserver or kernel doesn't support xrandr.

That is diablo extras :)

That's part of sliderotate. You could try installing that but not installing the xserver and kernel.

I'd make a modified package for diablo of sliderotate that wouldn't install the xserver and kernel but I don't want to be stepping on toes.

Removed. Emjayes's sliderotate now supports diablo and provides an automatic and easy way to install rotation in diablo.

That one can be modified easily; just edit usr\lib\sliderotate\sliderotate.py and replace all "left" strings with "right" :p

Ok, I've packaged that rotate-sb-plugin I made with dpad rotation a long time ago.

Note, after installing, turn off one of the rotate applets depending on if you want the dpad to be rotated. I've included both of the rotate applets (original and my one which does rotation of dpad too.)

Re: How to rotate screen on os2008
 

qwerty12, man, you blow me away! One question: So we're to implement rotation in diablo as described in your post, and then install the three debs you link to at the end of your sliderotate post?

Also, will installing sliderotate leave rotate status bar applets untouched?
