Public bug reported: Dear all,
I am experiencing a small, but annoying problem with the screen rotation that seems to be a bug. I am running Ubuntu (unity) 14.04 on an x220t (thinkpad convertible into tablet). There is a rotation button on the screen that makes the screen rotate 90º counter-clockwise (the showkey command return the number 154 when this button is pressed). This was working from fresh install of Ubuntu (therefore not linked to an additional package alike think-rotate). It does rotate the screen, but not the touchscreen input (finger for example), which makes it pretty useless (the install of the thinkpad-scripts package, ppa:martin- ueding/stable, solved the issue of the screen rotation for me). The problem is that this rotation button is not only useless, it results with the screen having a wrong rotation at next login. Following this thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2190452, I realized that pressing the rotation button generate the creation of the ~/.config/monitor.xml file. Then, before rebooting the computer, the line 13 of this file indicates the current rotation (" <rotation>normal</rotation>". However, after reboot and login, the rotation indicated in this file has been changed to the previous position and result in the screen being wrongly rotated. For example, if the rotation was "normal", after reboot, it is "right". I have not yet figured out if this happen during the log off, the shutting down, the booting or the login process. The temporary solution is to delete this monitor.xml file (otherwise, the screen is systematically rotated 90º clockwise after login. ** Affects: meta-gnome3 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: monitor.xml -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1316901 Title: Wrong screen rotation at login To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/meta-gnome3/+bug/1316901/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
