The mapping is not a configurable option _yet_. Once I have studied enough python, I will make a control panel applet to configure the behavior to users specific needs.
Rotate left/right, use Home/Power to initiate, rotate/ignore when slide opened etc.

Any help on creating a control panel applet with python anyone?
I have created a hildon-desktop applet, but I don't seem to be able to make a control panel applet that doesn't crash the entire control panel when clicked.

For now, you will have to live with the hardcoded options or edit the python code yourself.

The mikie-rotate was my first attempt to roate the sceen automatically, and as such will not be updated/supported in the future. If it works for you, fine.

The original reason for me to make the slide-rotate was that for some reason dbus-scripts, that the mikie-rotate depends on required restart after every boot to actually work. YMMV though, that's how it was for me.

The slide-rotate does _not_ consume any space in form of kernel images, that would not be needed anyway to rotate your screen.
The install-xrandr-kernel flashes the kernel in your initfs, where you couldn't store any personal data anyway and then deletes the kernel-image along with the tools used to flash it from your device.

The only unnecessary file in your device after a successful flashing will be the install script itself, which only consumes 1133 bytes.

Once the rotation works for you, you may delete this file freely.
