The attached scripts need the touch screen to be Wacom-enabled. For this
"|Atmel" needs to be added to the "MatchProduct" line in the
"InputClass" section with Identifier "Wacom class" in
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-wacom.conf. See also the attached file.

Title:
  Convertible: Auto-rotation of screen or at least rotation when
  pressing rotation button

Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I have a Lenovo Thinkpad Twist convertible ultrabook (Intel Core i7).
  The tablet mode (touchscreen-only operation, keyboard folded away) get
  continuously working better.

  One important difference between a tablet and a laptop is that you can
  use it holding it in any orientation, with any arbitrary of the four
  edges to the bottom. Tablets, like my Nexus 7 (under both Android and
  Ubuntu Raring Desktop), auto-rotate the screen content appropriately.
  This way one can simply rotate the tablet when the other orientation
  is more suitable, like watching videos in landscape orientation and
  reading in portrait orientation.

  It would be great to have this also in the tablet mode of a
  convertible (and switch back to standard landscape when returning to
  laptop mode). If there is no appropriate sensor, it should be at least
  possible to rotate the screen by pressing the rotation button (near
  the power button on the Thinkpad Twist).

  This should not be a big deal, as on the Nexus 7 under Raring Desktop
  this is already implemented and there is also the Magick Rotation
  project:

  AFAIK they simply rotate to portrait in tablet mode, but it is very
  important to have both portrait and landscape available in tablet
  mode. Also upside-down landscape is important, as dependent on the
  convertibles folding mechanism it could be more convenient to have the
  screen upside-down in tablet mode.
