Hello all! I'll start off by saying that this project is intended to be extremely easy. Getting this WORKING is as easy as downloading it and executing one command. That's as easy as it gets. For intermediate users, however, you can do a whole lot more, like integrating this script into the buttons on your ThinkPad tablet. Since I've only got a ThinkPad x41, I can only guarantee that this script will work on other x41 tablets. Now, let's get started! *Note: When i say type something in, do it without the quotes. So if i say: Type "Example text here" then you would actually type: Example text here For basic users: 1. Download the file "rotscript" from this page. 2. Open a terminal. 3. Type "cd", then a space, then wherever you downloaded the file to (usually Downloads). 4. Type "sudo chmod +x ./rotscript", then type your password. 5. Type "sudo mv ./rotscript /usr/bin/" 6. Now, right-click on a panel (in Ubuntu) and click "Add to Panel...". 7. Click "Custom Application Launcher" 8. Give it whatever name you'd like. 9. In the command field, type "/usr/bin/rotscript". 10. Click OK 11. You're done! you can now rotate your display by clicking on the launcher. For intermediate users: Check out the readme in the "extended" folder of this project.
