    I suspected my problem would be the same as geekboy's, so I added the same repo.
    When I ran apt-get install sliderotate I dot a "The following packages have unmet dependancies:" and then a slew of packages and the advice to try apt-get -f install to fix it.

    I'm trying that now.

    Ok, when I did apt-get -f install, it processed for a little bit and then gave me this:

    E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
    When I went to the Application Manager afterward and tried updating things, it downloaded sliderotate, then said 'installing' for a moment or two, then said unable to install sliderotate.

    there seems to be a problem with other packages.
    run
    Code:
    sudo gainroot
    dpkg --configure -a
    apt-get update
    apt-get install sliderotate
    that should work.

    I may just wipe the device and rebuild it, but Id rather not.

    I got all those errors when trying to install it as well, but in the end it was installed despite them.

    At first I thought it was because I had installed rotation packages from elsewhere, but when my 810's touchscreen died I repeated things on my 800, and the same thing happened -- errors, but it was installed.

    * shrug * Either way, it works great.

    Automatic rotation works fine, its just the pageup pagedown remapping for the
    [+ | -] rocker that dosent seem to work.

    Do you have xmodmap installed?

    PowerKeyDoubleAction=menu

    Then you can rotate the screen with a short press, but still can access the menu with long press, or double-clicking it.
    Ok, My goal is: only use the App Switch long press to rotate (N800)

    I have changed all of the options above to "...=menu"

    How do I make this change permanent?
    Reboot doesn't seem to change anything...

    I feel that I am missing something really obvious...


    Thanks

    Ok, I ended up just reflashing it and starting over from scratch. The install worked the first time, page scrolling and all.

    Thanks for all the help!
