After reboot just remember disabling the Extra Dev from the catalog (App Mgr)

All came from here and don't need to read too much into it.

I was under the impression that sliderotate had not been updated to comply with latest SSU version. Can anyone confirm that it has?

Why? Because all these packages are from diablo, not from chinook. I recompiled all of these using diablo sources, libs & SDK.

And also, you are using a chinook kernel in diablo. Works but if you can have the diablo one (which is better, why not)

1. Unzip this to your memory card: http://qwerty12.maemobox.org/Rotate.zip

(thanks andrewfblack again)

Edit, mirrored, thanks rm_you!
http://www.ageofikon.info/Rotate.zip or http://cs.trinity.edu/~acm/debs/Rotate.zip
2. Set the tablet into red pill mode: http://maemo.org/community/wiki/appl...erredpillmode/
3. Install the packages in this order:
  • libxrandr2_1.2.1-1_armel.deb
  • xserver-xomap_1.3.99.0~git20070321-0osso20074202_armel.modfied.deb
  • rotate-sb-plugin_0.1-1_armel.deb
  • kernel-diablo-flasher_2.6.21-200823maemo3_all.modfied.deb
4. Open up "X-Terminal" and run flash-and-reboot.
5. Enjoy.

NOTE: Emjayes's sliderotate was updated for Diablo and provides an automatic way to do this:

Highly recommended.

Here is my rotate-sb-plugin mod (original by jott) to rotate the d-pad too.(Well, I say mine but the original idea is Benson's and pH5 helped me with execing a program in a .c and I just did the rest and packaged it up :)):

The rotate-sb-plugin in Rotate.zip is the original.

If packages are missing or/and you get something like:
http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...&postcount=223
Then try first:

i can't install http://qwerty12.maemobox.org/Rotate.zip. it says site not found

Re: How to rotate screen on os2008
 
use the wiki instructions: http://wiki.maemo.org/Rotation

they seem to be working well for others.

Newbie question
Will this work on a NIT running Diablo_5.2008.43-7? Or do I need to do something else? Do I just click on it and see what happens? Please let me know and thanks.

If I were you, I'd follow the wiki instructions I linked to in the post above. I seem to recall that sliderotate was not updated for latest ssu/diablo version (although I'm still unclear as to whether that was the case).
