Public bug reported:
Hello Ubuntu-ites;
I am running Ubuntu
Release 17.04 (Zesty Zapus) 64-bit
Kernel Linux 4.10.0-21-generic x86_64
MATE 1.18.0
on a HP Pavilion x360 (*** WHICH IS A CONVERTIBLE ***)
which came pre installed with Windows 10, I am dual booting.
When in Windows, the rotation happens seamlessly, no buttons to push or
scripts to run.
I want the same abilities when running Ubuntu. Yes, I can switch to
something other desktop besides MATE if necessary.
This device (HP Pavilion x360) apparently has sensors to determine the
position that Window is using to auto-rotate the screen.
Question;
How to accomplish the above behavior?
What desktop to run?
What kernel to run?
And any other insights you may have.
I have read some of the other posts and it does not appear to be a
definitive way.
Thank you for any help.

Response
I appreciate your rapid response and I already seen your original post.
I was thinking that at the time of your post which was in 2016 that
maybe things had changed as convertibles are here to stay.
I have *** some *** coding skills and am wondering if it is worth
attacking this problem of making Ubuntu recognize the sensors and act
accordingly. But I would be in over my head.
Is this even something on Ubuntu/Linux radar?
Again, thanks for responding.
(Note, I am typing this response on my Android which is runnung some
form of Linux under the hood and and it rotates the screen accordingly.
So how difficult could it be!)
