and follow the instructions.

becomeroot conflicts with rootsh, which is a dependency in sliderotate.
Both provide basically the same effects, but since there is no need for an extra repository for rootsh I prefer that over becomeroot.

Perfect, thanks. One last question, what are the advantages or disadvantage to each?

Alright, well I followed the steps in the wiki again. Did the diablo update make any changes to the kernel? Did I just overwrite them with an old kernel?

guys i need help in fixing the rotation on my n800. i had previously installed rotation even before the wiki was made and i am not sure which of the instructions i followed but i got it working nicely.

the latest diablo SSU update broke my rotation, now it only rotates the touch area and not the image. i tried reinstalling libxrandr and xomap under red pill but still no joy.

hope i get a response soon. thanks in advance!

you're missing the xrandr kernel

easiest method to fix everything.

thanks for the quick reply, i installed the sliderote from your link but my rotation is still broken, only the touch area is rotated. app manager tells me it successfully installed sliderotate but i did not find any settings on the control panel..

Did you follow the instructions? Click the "(re)install xrandr kernel"-button in sliderotatesettings, which you find in Extras menu..

I have no idea why this would not work. I had to do a reflash and start from scratch but I've got the rotation working! This breathes new life into my N810!
