So, I decided to test my updated N810 and installed Advanced Backlight. If I try to rotate the screen, it doesn't really rotate. Screen stays the same (or sometime there are some artifacts) BUT the actual controls are changed. For example if I rotate the screen upside down, the image that I see is the same but I have to click top right corner to access the home menu instead of bottom left.
So do I need to do some additional steps to get the Advanced Backlight to work or is my N810 still not upgraded?

Installed SSU and it works really well - no issues detected so far.
The Advanced Power screen rotation options are nice.

Anyone tried installing sliderotate after updating? It worked fine for me when I updated and had it already installed, but in this thread, Silvermountain claims that the automatic install script for sliderotate isn't working for him, which strikes me as odd seeing as very few (if any) people reported issues after the automatic script was released, and my natural instinct (as with any other problem these days) is to blame the SSU

Code:
Depends: python2.5-runtime, xrandr (>= 1:1.2.2-0), xserver-xomap (= 1:1.3.99.0~git20070321-0osso20074202), libxrandr2 (>=2:1.2.1-1), xmodmap, flash-and-reboot

My install steps were as follows;
1) Installed SSU update
[Advanced Light rotation options works well]
2) Installed Slideroate
[First got a message in App Manager it had failed, tried update it, failed, uninstalled it and re-installed which made it install ok]
3) Used the Sliderotate settings option and the one thing that doesn't happen is a self-reboot after instaling xrandr support.
Manually rebooted. None of the features from sliderotate are active.
(I repeated steps 2-3 maybe three times and sometimes there was a flicker of functionality (like the power button rotating the screen) but it only lasted for so long then nothing).
I will be reflashing my N810 this weekend and this time I can try to install slide-rotate first and then the SSU - but am taking 'suggestions' on what to try/do if anything could benefit the SSU project.

that is different to the one in the community SSU. Making it work should be a simple matter of repackaging, however there are no source packages that I can find and the garage SCM is empty.

All times are GMT. The time now is 20:04.
Thanks!!!
Either you just posted it - or I am more blind than I thought
Now I got a check-list to use when trying out the SSU update.
Thanks again.
