How is this native orientation defined? Is it based on the dimensions that the screen reports? E.g. If it reports itself to be 1024x600, it is assumed that it is natively landscape?
I have a chinese android tablet where I am trying to port froyo to. In this case, the screen reports itself as 1024x600. The launcher starts in landscape mode just fine. However, it seems they have messed up the g-sensor, as rotation is off by 90 degrees. In their own official firmware, it seems they fixed this somehow for at least the launcher, but some applications still get it wrong. What would the best way to fix this, when the drivers themselves cannot be modified (no source) ?
