The instructions on the are for Ubuntu 9.04 so i have tested them in 9.10. To enable the screen resolution button open a terminal and type the following:
sudo gedit /etc/acpi/events/asus-rotate-t91
then place these two lines in the file and save:
event=hotkey (ATKD|HOTK) 0000007b
action=/etc/acpi/rotatescreen.sh
Now reboot and your screen rotate button should work.
was there anything else not working?
ReplyDeleteCould there be a way to not only make the screen go right, but at longer-press or another click, make it scroll through (like in w7)? that would be awesome...
ReplyDelete@Chase not sure about the w7 like behaviour but i concur that it would be sweet, if you find a solution let me know and i'll add it to the instructions.
ReplyDeleteI think it would be possible to modify the script so that every time the button is pressed it rotates 90 degrees, if you catch my drift. I'm actually on holidays at the moment so i'm not super keen to start fiddling with the code but when i have some spare time i might give it a try
@jCole, I'm definitely going to try and will keep you up to date :)
ReplyDelete@Chase awesome, thanks
ReplyDeleteBTW James, different item, but the brightness buttons seem to work with a mod to grub. My current grub mods are:
ReplyDeleteGRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet nosplash mem=786mb pciehp.pciehp_force=1 pciehp.pciehp_poll_mode=1 elevator=noop acpi_backlight=vendor"
- video mem reserve, display or sleep mods (can't remember), SSD saver and black light buttons :)
