Hi Ruis, just wanted you to know i created a desktop icon in order to activate/desactivate auto rotate.
It works with 2008.9/FDOM, but should work with other distributions.
I extended the /etc/init.d/accel-rotate to add it a "switch" function, and
used the tap/untap icon for the desktop entry.
Here you got it all.
Greetings
