Re: Automatic screen rotate for N810
 

Thanks alot! Installed like magic on my n800/os2008 and works great.

I'd like to know if its possibe to make it rotate Right instead of Left for two reasons.

1. The n800's d-pad would then be on the bottom closer to the users thumb when being held vertically.
2. The slot for the stylus would then be on top of the device rather than the bottom (which may lead to my dropping/losing it)

Also, how difficult would it be to have the n800's d-pad change orientation when rotated? The combinatiin of d-pad on the bottom and a d-pad that is properly oriented would kick *** for n800 users specifically(not sure if it runs on n770)

Thanks again
Eric

That's how I do portrait; xmodmap is used to remap the dpad. It does get reset if you connect a BT keyboard while in portrait, though.

Is this done automatically when rotated ?

Re: Automatic screen rotate for N810
 

It is now:

new version 0.0.14 includes mappings for D-pad.

If you have xmodmap installed, the D-pad is rotated as well.

I did not yet put xmodmap as a dependency, since there seem to be many sources it can be downloaded from.

Mine is from:

(/etc/apt/sources.list.d/hildon-application-manager.list)
deb http://mg.pov.lt/770 chinook user other

To those who wish the screen to be rotated right instead of left:
Originally I had the screen rotate to the right, but since I tired my thumb reaching for the back and home-keys, I turned it to the left.
I will make it a configurable option eventually.

How is taskbar dragging enabled? doesn't work for me, but I don't have xmodmap installed.

Where's the best place for this for OS2008? Maemo.org only has it under OS2007 which my tablet complains is incompatible. tx

taskbar dragging is always enabled. xmodmap is not needed for that, in fact it has nothing to do with it.

just press your finger firmly in the taskbar and drag it to another side of screen, release finger and presto, the taskbar is in new location.

not that it is usable anyway, since the menus in taskbar have too much hardcoded width/height values, and most menus will appear off screen.

Works best if you flip to portrait, then drag; you have to drag on empty panel (not on a button) and there's a huge chunk of empty panel at the bottom once you're in portrait. Likewise, to put it back on the side, flip to landscape; then there's loads of room on the top to grab...

It is usable, if, like me, you ditched the contacts and web menus in favor of personal menu and command navigator, and moved the apps menu to the top; then the apps menu starts from the left edge of the screen, and you can see the first column (categories) and the icons + a few letters for the second column. (The third-party ones, naturally, work well in any position...)

The task selection is the only trouble spot, and only sometimes. It really works out alright, though there's plenty of visible bugs.
