New Wiki for Diablo screen rotation can be found here: http://www.internettablettalk.com/wi...tion_in_Diablo

thanks to Qwerty12 for getting this together (and for allowing me to create a wiki article based on his work)

I just reflashed my kernel and used this guide step by step so it should work fine.

I installed the screen rotation files as posted, and it works as promised. I now have a problem, though. My keyboard isn't working properly: Fn & Enter keys don't work; the keyboard backlight doesn't turn on, and auto-complete doesn't pop up anymore. I tried searching the forums, and installed xmodmap, but that didn't work. Restarted multiple times. Not sure where to go from here.

Hmm, just out of question, you aren't using my rotate-sb-applet that rotates dpad or sliderotate?

Also, see if you can boot with an original kernel too, as I believe keyboard is handled by kernel.

1. I'm using your rotate-sb-applet.

2. How does a noob boot with an original kernel? I haven't cloned the OS yet.

and thanks for all your help

Disable the rotate-sb-plugin and remove it using application manager.

Reinstall the rotate-sb-plugin from http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...&postcount=194

See if that helps. If not, it may be the kernel :/ and I shall try and help you with reflashing the original to see if it is that (I only have a N800 to test on, so I don't know about the keyboard)

-Disabled, removed, rebooted: no fix

-Reinstalled rotate-sb-plugin (but not mod): no fix (didn't expect to, though), and plugin doesn't show an icon in the status bar, though it leaves room for it (like a blank icon)

Also, when I boot, the blue progress bar at the bottom of the screen only goes ~5mm, then stops, but boot time doesn't seem to be affected. I'm assuming it's a kernel issue. I don't currently have the micro-usb cable with me, so if reflashing the original involves that then I'll have to try tomorrow.

Hmm, the blank icon means that it isn't properly installed. Try reinstalling the 4 deb files in my post again.

Well, the icon shows now, but no change for the keyboard. I also tried uninstalling the 4 debs, but was unable because of 'OS 2008 Feature upgrade 4.2008.23-14' dependency (which itself isn't uninstallable because the 'uninstall' button is greyed out, not sure if this is normal, or even necessary).

Is there an info tab on my n800 that will allow me to see which kernel I have currently installed? I originally installed the chinook rotate kernel on my diablo n800. It has been working fine, but I saw here that the chinook rotate kernel has been updated to offically support diablo so I installed that one. It wiped out my initfs boot menu which I have since fixed, but I am not sure if the kernel flash actually worked. Anyway for me to check which kernel is currently installed?
Thanks
