# Screen rotation scripts
* https://kevinbecker.org/blog/2019/11/21/dell-venue-10-pro-5055-screen-rotation-in-gnome
## Usage - XFCE4
Install the optional dependency `iio-sensor-proxy` or `iio-sensor-proxy-git`.
Create a launcher with an icon symbolising "screen rotation" and use the following command:
```shell
de-p1st-rotate-screen
```
Every time you click on the launcher, the screen gets rotated to the current device orientation.
## Usage without acceleration sensor - XFCE4
Create two launchers, one with icon "arrow left" the other one with "arrow right"
and use the following commands:
```shell
de-p1st-rotate-screen "left"
```
```shell
de-p1st-rotate-screen "normal"
```
With these two launchers rotating the screen left into portrait mode or back to landscape mode
is just one quick click away.

## inotifywait
**TODO**: Use `ionotifywait` to periodically call the rotation script.
See: https://linuxappfinder.com/blog/auto_screen_rotation_in_ubuntu
## Surface Go 2
```shell
monitor-sensor --accell
```
just returns `orientation: undefined`.
After I switched to `iio-sensor-proxy-git` it was **working** until I rebooted.
Since then it does not work as well ...
**TODO**: Open an issue here: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/hadess/iio-sensor-proxy
