:)

If nothing failed, then please restart :D.
I only said not to restart if it failed because then effectively, your tablet is bricked without a reflash if it cannot start xserver. (Although if you have Fanoush's excellent initfs installed, you could fix it)

@arjun-giri

That looks odd. Were all the deb files from the sse2 site installed?

Re: How to rotate screen on os2008
 

I don't know if redpill works or not; I used dpkg as described on the page linked in the first post.

EDIT: Guess it does work...

Re: How to rotate screen on os2008
 

Same here but I got no extra output when installing with dpkg so I assume it must work if application manager doesn't report the install as failed for lm2

Re: How to rotate screen on os2008
 

Looks like a kernel issue from here; have you rebooted after flashing kernel?

Re: How to rotate screen on os2008
 

Hey, I got to add one more Thanks!

Success!! I can confirm that red pill worked just as qwerty12 described.

Thanks a million.

Re: How to rotate screen on os2008
 

:D, thanks :D

@fanoush
Is it possible if I ask for a one off favour please? :o

Could you compile your rotation kernel with this added too please:

Thank you.

Re: How to rotate screen on os2008
 

Am I correct in assuming that if fanoush comes out with an updated kernel that I'd like to have, I can follow qwerty12's instructions and end up with all the good new stuff and still have everything else work as before?

Just trying to get the weakest of grasps on how some of this works...

Re: How to rotate screen on os2008
 

Yes, the instructions would be the same but you would naturally download and untar a kernel with a different file name. (Actually not always, sometimes the new kernel can still have the name as the old kernel)

(Just make the changes with the wget, mv and kernel_flash command). The kernel flasher will almost certainly remain the same.

If a feature doesn't exist in a new kernel you want flashed, then naturally, that feature will be gone.

That's why I wanted Fanoush to update his kernel rather than flashing the one at the original post.

Fanoush is great and usually includes the best stuff anyway.

Re: How to rotate screen on os2008
 

qwerty12 thanks for the step-by-step instructions, it is working very well for me. Thanks to all of you who make this possible!!!

Re: How to rotate screen on os2008
 

:), glad it worked :)

On a separate note, has anyone noticed the camera isn't working or is it just me?

I ran cameratest from the terminal and it complains about overlay. When I open my camera, the screen stays black but if I take a picture, it takes it fine.
