Code:
rotate.sh [ cw | ccw | normal | left | inverted | right ]
EDIT: Use the script below, if you want to be able to rotate one notch clockwise or counterclockwise from current position.
EDIT: Script rezipped; now this zip contains the most recent version of the script, able to rotate one notch clockwise or counterclockwise from current position.
i typed that command in xterm but it tells not found. I installed xmodmap , put both files in correct location , what exactly should I type to assign a button for that rotate.sh script?

2timer, pretty sure you have to set permissions for those files. see this post: http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...2&postcount=41
If you don't know how to set permissions like me, just search wikipedia for chmod, it will tell you the usage.

I prefer to use chmod +x

Saves me from remembering odd numbers.

Hey when i type into x terminal:
tar zxvf kernel-2.2007.50-2-rotation.tar.gz
it says "tar: can't open 'kernel-2.2007.50-rotation.tar.gz' : No such file in directory"

What do i do to fix this problem?

I do not believe -2- escapes anything anywhere, so it appears you are not typing the correct path into the terminal. Are you in the right directory?

The default terminal does do tab autocompletion in a reasonable fashion, so you can just type "kernel" and press tab; should avoid spelling mistakes.

You need to install the xomap with xrandr off jott's site (www.sse2.net/rotate)

I am nervous to brick my n810 trying to make the screen rotation happen! Will there ever be a 'click here to install' application for the screen rotation?
