[Bug 1326885] Re: desktop start rotated

 

I wrote this guide because I had the same problem with my WeTab:

Title:
  desktop start rotated

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Running Ubuntu 14.04 on bModo12 (same hardware as WeTab). Right after
  login the screen rotates to rightwards (no matter what direction the
  screen is actually at). I had to run this everytime:

  $ xrandr -o normal

  Note this is not gravity sensor at work. If gravity sensor is at work,
  and turned screen leftwards or rightwards, 'xrandr -o normal' will not
  have any effect.

  Expected behaviour: the desktop rotation should be decided by gravity sensor, or, without its input, defaults to normal. If it is intended that even without gravity sensor input the desktop should rotate anyway (because it consider itself running on a tablet) then it should do so since login screen, not to change orientation right after login.
