So, as per Bryce's advice, I've split this bug into two pieces. Bug#
1092952 is for the kernel half of this bug, and this bug is now just for
the g-s-d half.
** Description changed:
- when the device is rotated physically the screen and input should also
- rotate. But it's not working. bryce has written an xrotate script that
- maybe we could attach to the rotation events, but in theory we shouldn't
- need it.
+ Once Bug# 1092952 is solved and we are able to listen for rotate events
+ from the kernel, then we need to hook this signal in with the gnome-
+ settings-daemon code that tracks rotation status and performs the xinput
+ and xrandr rotation events.
- Bryce adds, " theoretically there should be code in gnome-settings-
- daemon (or gnome-desktop) which listens for xrandr events and rotates
- the input. So when we have proper handling of the sensor we can hook
- that to the gtk events and let g-s-d rotate the input, and then xrotate
- simply becomes a debugging tool. "
