Update: version 0.0.25diablo
-removed dependency for rootsh (thanks for the idea Urho)
-automatic (re)installation for required packages by sliderotatesettings.
(SSU breaks rotation, reinstallation re-enables it)
-removed the need to start xterm and gain root access to install the required packages.
-automatic launch of sliderotatesettings if you try to rotate before installing the required kernel and xserver-xomap.
(also a minor annoyance for anyone updating from previous version, you will have to either (re)install the packages using the button or issue
Code:
gconftool -t bool -s /apps/rotate/xrandrsupport true
to make sliderotate stop launching sliderotatesettings when trying to rotate.

My N810 4.2008.30-2 no longer rotates when I press the power button. Any idea why? Will any other button trigger the rotation?
Thanks

If you just upgraded via SSU, you will have to go to Extras ->Sliderotatesettings and press the (re)install xrandr-kernel -button to re-enable the rotation.

emjayes: I had to reflash a couple of weeks ago and just ran your new installation. Worked perfect. It's definitely a no-brainer now. Anybody should be able to do it. Great job!

I just did that, and think I found a bug. If I uncheck the zoom option and save, it won't rotate, but it will when I recheck it and save.

Just a note, writing to sudoers directly is dirty

How about instead making a file called
/etc/sudoers.d/sliderotate.sudoers :
user ALL = NOPASSWD: /usr/local/bin/install-xrandr-kernel

And calling update-sudoers || true from the postinst?

New version: 0.0.26diablo

Bugfix: Unchecking "Make Zoom..." stopped rotation working is now fixed.
Root access fixed as per qwerty12's note.
