Can't you just edit control file of rotation xomap deb to original name and "update" on the device?
Or just unpack to root. I did that with Xournal without installing Ghostscript. |

Ok thanks, I will edit /var/lib/dpkg/status and change it back to old name. But if an update to this xserver gets released, it's gonna be fun :(

Re: How to rotate screen on os2008
Well, that's nice. Think this is about ready for wikification? I'm thinking to go start a wiki page on it now. The install is pretty straightforward now; but it looks like there are three (reasonably friendly) ways of controlling it: jott's applet; Faheem's enhanced version, and cli via powerlaunch.
Not using an applet, I don't know... Faheem, is there any advantage to using the original applet, or is yours completely a superset? And my way (BTW, the script on my tablet now has a 180 option as well; turns out that (unless you force a "standard" rotation on entry to powerlaunch) you really want to use cw, ccw, and 180 commands from powerlaunch... Duh. Update coming in prior posts.) is somewhat complex and highly config dependent; you guys think it should just be left out, and the people advanced enough to be using powerlaunch will figure it out anyway? |

It has only one advantage: - It will map the D-Pad keys the right way for all the rotations. The disadvantage: - Mentioned about you with your script, it will also rotate bluetooth keys too. Rest of it is exactly the same as the original. |

Re: How to rotate screen on os2008
hey qwerty12, new user here, I had to pick and choose a little bit the infos here, but I got it going... thanks for the kernel and all the deb pkgs...
is there a way to make the fonts smaller so the top icons don't overlap ? also is there a way to get ksh on n800 ? Thanks much, Houman |

Re: How to rotate screen on os2008
you know I'd use this mode (left rotation or right rotation all the time), the only trouble I have is the left screen bars and when I bring keyboard, the keys are into each other (like m & n ) :)
But I'll give those fonts a try. Thank you! |
Re: How to rotate screen on os2008
I have installed it ! Wonderfull ! How to rotate with keyboard, is there some shortcuts? I use the applet for the moment.

Re: How to rotate screen on os2008
No. The kernel is the same, only the bootloader is different. So flashing a new kernel, as it leaves the bootloader alone, will not add or remove the fix.
If you have that trouble, you need to flash with 51-3 (or at least the bootloader of it), and then install any 50-2 or 51-3 compatible kernel that makes you happy. |
Re: How to rotate screen on os2008
Oh! Right. Duh. That makes sense. I'm not used to thinking about things on the kernel/bootloader level.

Re: How to rotate screen on os2008
@qwerty12: I want to change the dpad settings. I *thought* all it took was replacing the .so file with the one you provide here. But this didn't work. I'm assuming now that I need to install your modified plugin as well. Is this right? If yes, can you describe how to install this? When I installed the original applet, I simply clicked the auto-install link provided at http://sse2.net/rotate/ .
Thanks! |

You install the rotate-sb-plugin. The original one frrom the sse link. Once you have the rotate applet installed, unzip the file and use mv to move it to /usr/lib/hildon-desktop/ |
Re: How to rotate screen on os2008
So if I had the applet working fine before trying to replace the .so file, and then replaced the .so file with the .so file you attached here, that should work, right? I didn't need to do anything with the "rotate-sb-plugin (copy)" file you also attached?

Re: How to rotate screen on os2008
I see. Thanks. Well, I wonder why it didn't work then. :(
Oh well, I've gotten use to hitting the right side of the Dpad while in portrait mode to scroll down. In fact, now that I ponder it, I think this is more ergonomically pleasant than if I had to hit the (modified) down-button. |
Re: How to rotate screen on os2008
So... would this feature be part of the next ITOS release?

the windows have much more horizontal space now and the keys on the keyboard don't overlap. i think it might actually be faster for stylus typing because you don't have to move the stylus so far to reach different keys. the only problem is the tasklist in the panel is mucked up(still tries to display the running programs vertically).. i prefer using the home button anyway (even though in this orientation half of it is displayed offscreen). i've attached a screenshot |

Which version of OS2008 are you using? 2007.50-2 or 2007.51-3? I know that the position and size of the sidebar panel and the other hildon desktop elements can be changed via /etc/hildon-desktop/desktop.conf But no drag&drop changes for me. :( |
Re: How to rotate screen on os2008
I send an patch for dpad rotation to the developer (jott, http://sse2.net/rotate/) and an own icon which fits very well into the other icons.
i hope he will include it in the next release. in the meantime you can request me via pm for my version of the rotate-plugin where the dpad gets rotated too. i don't want to make it public because i want to avoid a fork of the plugin. greetz |

Re: How to rotate screen on os2008
It's hard to get hold of the task navigator panel when the screen is landscape, but you can find a few spots between applets and do it, once you know to try.
The key is to drag the panel itself, not an applet; much easier (as well as more useful) in portrait. |

Re: How to rotate screen on os2008
Wow! tried 21 grabs. finally it moved.
How can icons be rearranged in there? I can'tt use program menu now, its off scrreen to right. If it could move left, and be smaller text, it mightt fit. I triedd editing /etc/hildon-desktop and restarting. had no effect. PJ |
