Thanks a lot for your answer, I think that's what I thought then, however with a Lenovo Yoga, there's a accelerometer and the screen is supposed to rotate (see fix at https://github.com/admiralakber/thinkpad-yoga-scripts). So I think that it should be working?
Perhaps this is related to the other thing that I had described on this mailing list with the shortcut meta + O (which is the hard button to lock screen rotation).
