Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: hotkey-setup
Hi.
On a TravelMate C200 from Acer, Inc.
There are a few keys on top. I wanted the swiwel key to work and did the
following:
# Acer Laptops
setkeycodes 0x6b 219 # Rotate display
In /etc/X11/Xsession.d/ I created the file 40custom_xmodmap with the
contents
xmodmap -e "keycode 219 = XF86RotateWindows"
Now in gconf-editor I added to metacity the key XF86RotateWindows to run this
script:
# swiweldisplay.sh
# Arnos dirty xrandr "swiwel display" hack
# 2007
RANDRSTATE=`xrandr -q |grep rotation |sed s/Current\ rotation\ -\ //`
echo $RANDRSTATE > /home/arno/config/randrstate
if [ "$RANDRSTATE" == "normal" ]; then
xrandr -o right;
xsetwacom set stylus rotate CW
exit;
fi
if [ "$RANDRSTATE" == "right" ]; then
xrandr -o inverted;
xsetwacom set stylus rotate HALF
exit;
fi
if [ "$RANDRSTATE" == "inverted" ]; then
xrandr -o left;
xsetwacom set stylus rotate CCW
exit;
fi
if [ "$RANDRSTATE" == "left" ]; then
xrandr -o normal;
xsetwacom set stylus rotate NONE
exit;
fi
OK it rotates all the way around. Maybe not practical but it is what I needed.
It works!
Now, if someone knows how to get the X server to handle this instead of
metacity command binding, it would be greater. But for now it works very
well.
