I'm going to confirm this and add the Lenovo X200 Tablet to the machines
referenced by this bug. These hotkey events have been available for
incorporation into acpi-support for years now, yet they still have to be
researched by users and added manually to make them work.

The scripts as well as the rotate daemon work fine on Ubuntu Hardy on an
X61t here. I modified the scripts as follows to start/stop the rotate
daemon as needed. The daemon is only useful when in tablet mode,
therefore starting it using an init script is not ideal IMO. Adding /

Removing the hdaps_ec kernel module isn't needed and having it is
probably beneficial as that module is the IBM Hard Drive Active
Protection System (HDAPS) driver. Granted I have not looked at the
code to see if it really does park the hard drive if it detects the

I'm not a programmer so excuse me if this remark is completely
illogical. I was reading this and wondering why we need a rotate_daemon?
There seem to be a number of actions related to screen rotation:
* rotating the screen to and from tablet mode
* vertically rotating the laptop itself
* pushing
Everything but the
* vertically rotating the laptop itself
action trigger ACPI events / xserver key events.
The laptop contains an accelerometer sensor which can be read by user
space software (the rotate_daemon). The daemon has to read the sensors
continously to detect a physical rotation over a
I have plans to work on improving my tablets configuration and
creating/modifying packages to automatically configuring my tablet for
me. Is there a project page where we can create a tablet support
project, if one does not already exist, and add in all of these
instructions there and also have a
Since all that is quite distribution specific (each distribution has
their own acpi scripts), I would recommend creating a project on
launchpad and creating a wiki page on http://help.ubuntu.com/community
for communication with users. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/TabletPC
could need some more
That sounds like a good idea. The problem I can foresee is there are a
lot of different things that need to be configured/installed on a
default Ubuntu system to get it configured for a tablet. I don't know
much about the Ubuntu/Debian build system, so help there would be
greatly appreciated.
This is what I get when I rotate my X61 tablet running Kubuntu 8.04.
This started with Hardy as it used to work with the 7.10.

OK, I got the rotation to work and the auto rotation as well. It took a

itself works but even though it is linked in rc5.d, it doesn't start. I

Sorry, I forgot to mention that you need to execute

Hi Tom!
I quicked implemented a daemon which reads sensors values from the
accelerometer using the hdaps_ec kernel driver and rotates the screen
and the wacom stylus accordingly. The code is not mature yet, but it
works quite nicely on my machine. Please download the code from
I support this request.
Florian, there is also a sensor on my X60 that senses which side of the
screen is down when holding it vertically (in stead of laying it down on
a table). Windows uses it to rotate the screen accordingly
automatically. Is that included in your scripts? If not, could you

I'd like to propose the following additions in order to support panel
