@Kai-Heng, when the screen is rotated, the keyboard is locked, so that is detected somehow. Also, if you go to the screen display properties, you can rotate whether it is Unity or Gnome or others. Thus, I guess it should be possible to combine this in some way.

I've already installed the updates meanwhile. This laptop has a 360º degree rotating screen. When I physically rotate my screen, Windows (or some installed driver, I don't know) detects that. Consequently, the image being displayed in the screen is rotated 180º and the keyboard is blocked. However, Ubuntu doesn't do nothing when I rotate the screen. I think this is a bug because a fresh Ubuntu installation should recognise these laptop features. I searched a little bit and it seems there are some workarounds on this, but I guess Ubuntu installation should recognise this automatically? --- ApportVersion: 2.20.1-0ubuntu2.5 Architecture: amd64 AudioDevicesInUse: USER PID ACCESS COMMAND /dev/snd/controlC0: tjiagom 1806 F.... pulseaudio CurrentDesktop: Unity DistroRelease: Ubuntu 16.04 HibernationDevice: RESUME=UUID=0eaf9255-c29a-41b7-8449-1eb52f637933 InstallationDate: Installed on 2017-02-04 (0 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS "Xenial Xerus" - Release amd64 (20160719) Lsusb: Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub Bus 001 Device 002: ID 04f2:b56b Chicony Electronics Co., Ltd Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub MachineType: ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC.
