It was -developed and tested on a ThinkPad Yoga 12 (2nd generation). +This is a program to run in the background and automatically rotate your X +screen for you. It has been developed on a ThinkPad Yoga 12. + +It monitors IIO events via ACPI to watch for the screen being folded back, at +which point rotation is enabled. When the computer is in laptop mode, rotation +doesn't occur. It also honors pressing the screen orientation lock button on +the side of the Yoga. + +It currently has hacks calling external programs to rotate the touchscreen +input and Wacom digitizer to match the orientation of the screen. A future +release will do these operations directly from the C code, removing the +external dependencies on xinput and xsetwacom. + +This program requires libXrandr to compile to and run. On Debian, you can +install this with "sudo apt install -y libxrand-dev". + +This is a very early version and is bound to have bugs. Bug reports are welcome +on GitHub. |
