A slight problem before I install Xubuntu: With Xubuntu Live the
touchscreen is working, but when I rotate the screen it stays in
landscape mode. Not good for reading books and journal articles.

Before I bought this computer I asked the eBay seller if the screen
automatically rotated when you hold it portrait, and he said that it
did. Of course, all he had was Windows 10. And it does work with
Windows 10, which I verified the few times it started to boot Windows
before I finally got the BIOS/UEFI straightened out.

Does anyone know of a simple utility to make Xubuntu automatically
rotate the 1920x1080 screen? The machine must have a sensor that
Windows gets its orientation information from, but I don't have any
idea how to access it. All I can think of is xrandr, but that's kind of
clumsy if you have to switch back and forth.
