Woo-hoo! Looks like all the commands took, and I rebooted, but I guess I can't figure out just where the option is to rotate the screen at this point! I'm assuming everything is installed and ready to try, but how do I try (he asked, sheepishly).

Go into tablet's control panel, open "panels," hit status bar tab, and make sure that "Advanced Backlight control" is selected. Close out of panels and control panel, and you should see a new cool icon in the upper right of your tablet. click on this, and then hit the right-most sideways A. This will turn your tablet's screen to the right. To get back to normal, hit the icon again and hit the leftmost A.

Urgh. No cool icon in the right top corner. I see the advanced backlight control icon, the display icon, the audio, the connection icon, and the battery icon. Looks like I missed a step somewhere, but in that last set of commands in xterm, I followed every step and each time it worked. I was hopeful! Darn it. I did reboot, which to me meant just manually shutting down the device by pressing the on/off button.
I'll go back through that last set of commands again later today, but I was pretty confident we hit all the steps, and that each one took.

The icon you're looking for **IS** the advanced backlight item. The rotation controls are built into that status bar item.

The only possible mis-step was when I was inputting the command for the osso software, I initially copied the version for the 800 (rx 34) instead of command for the 810, but then i followed that mis-step by using the proper command (apt-get install osso-software-version-rx44-unlocked), and it appeared to load/install (just like it did for the rx34 version), and all seems to be just peachy. But I guess not.

Man, I'm sorry for dragging you into this rotation world in light of all this.
I'd suggest you try following the steps again, rebooting, and seeing what happens. NOTE: you DO NOT need to do the wget command again, since you already downloaded those those files and they will already be on your tablet where you need them to be. You probably DO NOT need to reinstall advabced backlight either, since you clearly have that.
Again, I'm very sorry this has been so laborious. I hope your accidentally installing the n800 version didn't do damage. I don't know enough to know if it did. Don't worry, a reflash would fix everything, but obviously reflashes are to be avoided.

I appreciate all of your help. It seems like I'm pretty close, and the process (though arduous) has helped me get around the machine in ways that I normally wouldn't have (at least initially). So, it's been a great learning experience, if nothing else.
I haven't noticed anything funny since I accidentally copied the wrong command (for the 800). Hopefully, it's a non-issue or that by following up with the proper command, it overwrote it or something.
Anyway, I'll keep zipping through all of the Talk pages and I'm sure it'll direct me down some new, fun courses. If you happen to think of anything else that I might've missed, I'll keep checking this thread periodically.
Thanks again for all of your help.

I followed all the steps here, http://sse2.net/rotate/ without erors.
Advanced backlight is installed, but no rotation options.
Any advice?

Sean-o said it took his tablet a little while to display the rotation options. I find this strange, but there you are. Try rebooting again. Maybe that'll do it.
