Automatic screen rotate for N810 - Page 6 - maemo.org

I managed to drag my taskbar off the bottom of the screen... any idea how to retrieve it? I tried clicking and holding at the bottom without any luck... is there a config file I can manually update?

killall hildon-desktop.

It will disable all the applets but they will come back after reboot.

i have a minor issue , if you remember me asking about how to make the application menu optional since ive done that i noticed that when i tap and hold on an item the animated icon isnt circling or even appearing at all. also , in app manager when it is refreshing , the little icon in the banner isnt circling or even appearing either. any ideas on how i can fix this?

I finally got everything installed, thanks! However pushing the power button on n800 does nothing. double click will bring up the menu. Also D pad doesn't seem to be correctly mapped when rotated.

Retried apt-get update and its failing some items

Thanks
Dylan

Ok, I've read this thread several times... N00B question:

How do I install this on an N800 booting from immc2?

This is one of the features I miss from my T3

Thanks

As long as you have booted from mmc when installing sliderotate.

Oh and fanoush, as you may have noted, I use your server to download the tools for flashing, I hope thats OK with you.

I can host the files myself too if needed.
Nice work on the flashing tools btw.

No problem. Actually I prefer direct link to latest version on my site. Hosting outdated local copies is not best idea.

I'm guessing that this is the reason its not working. any suggestions?

The install-xrandr-kernel is VERY crude and has no error checking.

Stop the application manager and rerun the script.

The errors mean that you can't user apt-get because Applicatin manager has locked /var/lib/dpkg/lock to prevent multiple instances of apt installing stuff.

I will create a better script when I have the time for it.
