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:

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:

de-p1st-rotate-screen "left"

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.

Surface Go 2

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 ...
