in short: install the package, click Sliderotatesettings in Extras, select (re)install xrandr kernel and wait ~ 1 minute. Voila. rotation in Diablo.

It could be easier I guess, but I think it is as easy as it needs to be already.
I have a 810 w/dual boot from the internal 2gb card. Also have Penguinbait's WindowMaker .deb install along with Diablo and the SSU update. Can I install the rotate package with my setup?

edit:

Since no one answered my query above, I tried installing sliderotate. The Application Catalog reported it was unable to install it. Yet sliderotate is listed as installed. Attempting to uninstall it is also unsuccessful. Here is log results:

I really need help....
