This adds an X11 configuration file (x11-fbdev-rotate.conf
) to rotate the display by 90° degrees clockwise.
In order to rotate the touchscreen, in the xinitrc_hildon.sh
script, it gets the deviceinfo_dev_touchscreen
variable from the /etc/deviceinfo
file and perform a query with udevadm
in order to find out the corresponding name of the touchscreen device.
With the touchscreen device name it calls xinit
to set the Coordinate Transformation Matrix
in order to rotate the touch.
This part works but is a bit fragile and needs to be tested on various devices.
An alternative solution would be to find a way to set the coordinate transformation matrix using the /dev/input/eventX
directly (with udev rule is possible).
TODO:
-
handle devices that doesn't need rotation (based on deviceinfo_screen_width
/deviceinfo_screen_height
variables indeviceinfo
) - during runtime or package installation?
-
retrieve touchscreen device name from the /sys/class/input/eventX/device/name
file (replacing/dev
with/sys/class/
indeviceinfo_dev_touchscreen
variable
Closes #819 (closed)
