WARNING:
This tutorial is designed to be as accurate, safe, and easy as possible. However, if you don't know what you're doing, PLEASE stick to the begginer's setup.

This tutorial assumes you know your way around a Linux terminal and can accomplish basic tasks without me holding your hand.

Now that that's out of the way, let's get started!

1.	Download rotscript from the root of my project.
2.	cd to the download directory.
3.	chmod it to executable.
4.	Move it to /usr/bin/.
Now comes the more complex part. I'm working on a shell script to just do this automatically, but for now, just follow these instructions carefully.
5.	Change over to tty1 (CTRL+ALT+F1).
6.	Type "setkeycodes 0x6c 203".
7.	Change back to GUI (CTRL+ALT+F7).
8.	Get into Keyboard Shortcuts.
9.	Click Add.
10.	Name it whatever you like.
11.	Set the command to "/usr/bin/rotscript".
12.	Enable the shortcut by clicking Disabled, then pressing your newly-functioning Rotation key.
13.	Test it out, check that it works!
14.	Edit /etc/rc.local with whatever text editor you prefer (I use gedit).
15.	Add the line "setkeycodes 0x6c 203" to right above "exit 0".
16.	Done! Enjoy!

Don't forget to tell all your friends! Also, please leave me feedback on my tutorial. I went through a load of work and bricked my Linux install twice trying to get this working and made this so that people could be spared that. I aim to be the best way to enable total x41 functionality on Linux. Hopefully, this will be added to the Linux kernel soon and I'll be obsolete.

If you'd like to enable your other tablet buttons, check out my x41 Tablet Buttons project!
