Hi all,

auto rotating the screen of a tablet / convertible based on sensor data works in Fedora & Ubuntu ( I guess all Gnome based distros ). Only KDE is still not supporting it. I filed a bug report:
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=384066

If you run monitor-sensor (that comes with the shipped iio-sensor-proxy) you can verify if all sensors (accelerometer, ambient...) are working correctly. Sensors are working fine for my convertible, but it seems that KDE is not doing anything with these event messages.

Someone in Ubuntu wrote:
"With gnome this is picked up by gnome-settings-daemon if I'm correct. How do I inform lightdm to use this information to auto-rotate the screen? Although it's definitely possible to run my own script to pull all the time for changes, I prefer to have it in an event loop that checks d-bus anyway, so I'm not suddenly creating some kind of battery drain."

Has anyone an easy workaround to use auto-rotate screen in KDE as well or any info how to solve this ?

Yes, I find this very annoying after listening to linux unplugged I desided to give kde another shake.But Not being about to rotate the screen is going to be a pain. One of the reasons I like gnome is because of the android .one thing That i have always hated about kde is how big the search app thing it takes up about a 3rd of the screen what at that point might as well take up the whole screen in my point of view and I couldn't find the setting to resize it in settings .
