I have a Dell 2-in-1 tablet/laptop (Inspiron 7352), and I'm trying to figure out how to get the auto-rotate of the screen to work again, when I fold back the screen into tablet mode.
This worked briefly on F23, but then it stopped at some point, and hasn't worked at all in F24.
Does anybody know what Fedora component is responsible for handling this?
Does anybody know what settings I need to change to make it work routinely?You want to look for an event signalling the screen folding/unfolding and rotation driver by an accelerometer.xrandr based approach: https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2116275 discusses "Magick Rotation" which claims to support Fedora as well as Ubuntu, but hasn't been updated in several years.More recent Gnome approach: https://github.com/hadess/iio-sensor-proxy and https://developer.gnome.org/iio-sensor-proxy/1.0/ seems to have Fedora 24 packages
Yeah, I have iio-sensor-proxy installed, and the service is running fine. As far as I can tell it is properly detecting and signalling from the accelerometer, but Gnome is ignoring it. (Not exactly sure how to troubleshoot this further to confirm.) F24 has Gnome 3.20, so all should be working fine. Like I said, it worked briefly under F23, which has 3.18, but then it stopped.
From all I read, this should just work out of the box with Gnome 3.18+ and iio-sensor-proxy running. Since it's not, I guess I should file a bug, but I thought maybe there was some additional debugging I could do, or some manual configuration steps I could check. As far as I can tell, Gnome does not have a UI for configuring the auto-rotate behavior (though, it has one for the automatic brightness), and I don't think I would have used gsettings or dconf to turn it off or anything like that.
