Nokia-N810-43-7:/media/mmc2/Packages# ls
sliderotate-diablo.install
2. Then on the N810 I did these steps:
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Open Application manager.
From the top menu, select: Application > Install from file
I browsed to /media/mmc2/Packages/sliderotate-diablo.install
I accepted all defaults (clicked "OK" button).
Got a message that sliderotate was successfully installed.
I saw a dialog box with message:
close app manager and run Sliderotatesettings in extras
and press (re)install xrandr-kernel
Not sure how to proceed. How do I "run" Sliderotatesettings? Where is it? It says run it in "extras". Is that a directory? If so, I don't find it.
EDIT: Application Manager now shows that both rotate-sb-plugin and sliderotate are installed. I'm still unsure how to run Sliderotatesettings. It did not automatically come up for me.
I'm stuck. Appreciate any help. I've only had the N810 for 1 day.
EDIT: the instructions here (http://sse2.net/rotate/) seem more clear to me. Are they current? Should I start over and follow those steps? If so, do I need to uninstall sliderotate?
EDIT (again): OK, I got everything installed and set up correctly.
The only problem now is that all the pages (PDF's, web pages, etc.) do not fit well on the screen when it is rotated. For example, I can no longer go to the next pages of PDF documents by tapping the right side of the screen. Apparently the activation area is too far too the right (off the screen). Tapping on the left side still brings up the previous page. Basically, I cannot read PDFs in portrait mode, and this is the real reason I wanted the rotate feature. What are the options to resolve this? Thanks

There are no ways to fix this yet but probably in the future, there will be a fix to this
I think sliderotate may not have been updated to latest OS version.
Thank you. I would like to try those steps in the wiki link you provided. What is the best way to do it now that I have installed sliderotate? Should I uninstall everything and begin fresh? If so, how do I uninstall everything that I installed in this thread above?
