I suspected my problem would be the same as geekboy's, so I added the same repo.
When I ran apt-get install sliderotate I dot a "The following packages have unmet dependancies:" and then a slew of packages and the advice to try apt-get -f install to fix it.

I'm trying that now.

Ok, when I did apt-get -f install, it processed for a little bit and then gave me this:
Errors were encountered while processing:
/var/cache/apt/archives/sliderotate_.0.0.16_armel.deb
"libart[version]
"libgnomecanvas2-common
libgnomecanvas
libgnomeprint2.2-data
libgnomeprint2.2
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
When I went to the Application Manager afterward and tried updating things, it downloaded sliderotate, then said 'installing' for a moment or two, then said unable to install sliderotate.

there seems to be a problem with other packages.
run
Code:
sudo gainroot
dpkg --configure -a
apt-get update
apt-get install sliderotate
that should work.

Ok, I tried the dpkg line, this is the result:
Errors were encountered while processing:
xournal
sliderotate
apt-get update gave 3 GPG errors (for synthesize.us, andrew.triumf.ca, maemo-hackers.org
apt-get install almost immediately gives this:
The following packages have unmet dependancies:
xournal (dosent matter for this I suppose) and then lists 3 failed dependencies for it
E: Unmet dependencies.
So, I tried uninstalling xournal and ran dpkg --configure -a
It gave:
error processing sliderotate
Package is in a very bad inconsistent state - you should reinstall it before attempting configuration.
So I tried running apt-get install sliderotate and it gave an error about the sliderotate 0.0.16 deb. Specifically,
dpkg: error while cleaning up:
subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 102
I may just wipe the device and rebuild it, but Id rather not.

I got all those errors when trying to install it as well, but in the end it was installed despite them.

At first I thought it was because I had installed rotation packages from elsewhere, but when my 810's touchscreen died I repeated things on my 800, and the same thing happened -- errors, but it was installed.

* shrug * Either way, it works great.

Automatic rotation works fine, its just the pageup pagedown remapping for the
[+ | -] rocker that dosent seem to work.

Then you can rotate the screen with a short press, but still can access the menu with long press, or double-clicking it.
Ok, My goal is: only use the App Switch long press to rotate (N800)

I have changed all of the options above to "...=menu"

How do I make this change permanent?
Reboot doesn't seem to change anything...

I feel that I am missing something really obvious...


Thanks

Ok, I ended up just reflashing it and starting over from scratch. The install worked the first time, page scrolling and all.

Thanks for all the help!
