And my way (BTW, the script on my tablet now has a 180 option as well; turns out that (unless you force a "standard" rotation on entry to powerlaunch) you really want to use cw, ccw, and 180 commands from powerlaunch... Duh. Update coming in prior posts.) is somewhat complex and highly config dependent; you guys think it should just be left out, and the people advanced enough to be using powerlaunch will figure it out anyway?

My applet is jott's original but with the key rotation support (like your script)

. I actually used the xmodmap lines from your script

.

It has only one advantage:
- It will map the D-Pad keys the right way for all the rotations.

The disadvantage:
- Mentioned about you with your script, it will also rotate bluetooth keys too.

Rest of it is exactly the same as the original.

No :-)

hey qwerty12, new user here, I had to pick and choose a little bit the infos here, but I got it going... thanks for the kernel and all the deb pkgs...

is there a way to make the fonts smaller so the top icons don't overlap ?

also is there a way to get ksh on n800 ?

Thanks much,

Houman

I'm not sure a smaller font will help you, but you can get 12pt and 14pt font versions of the built-in OS2008 themes from the maemo.lancode.de repository. I use the "themes-os08-14pt" package.

lancode.de
repository

you know I'd use this mode (left rotation or right rotation all the time), the only trouble I have is the left screen bars and when I bring keyboard, the keys are into each other (like m & n )

But I'll give those fonts a try. Thank you!

So for those who were experiencing the reboot issue that 51-3 fixed, using your kernel-2.2007.50-2-rotation.tar.gz would be a bad idea?

No. The kernel is the same, only the bootloader is different. So flashing a new kernel, as it leaves the bootloader alone, will not add or remove the fix.

If you have that trouble, you need to flash with 51-3 (or at least the bootloader of it), and then install any 50-2 or 51-3 compatible kernel that makes you happy.

Oh! Right. Duh. That makes sense. I'm not used to thinking about things on the kernel/bootloader level.

@qwerty12: I want to change the dpad settings. I *thought* all it took was replacing the .so file with the one you provide here. But this didn't work. I'm assuming now that I need to install your modified plugin as well. Is this right? If yes, can you describe how to install this? When I installed the original applet, I simply clicked the auto-install link provided at http://sse2.net/rotate/ .

Thanks!
