Bug Description
Dear all,
I am experiencing a small, but annoying problem with the screen rotation that seems to be a bug.
I am running Ubuntu (unity) 14.04 on an x220t (thinkpad convertible into tablet). There is a rotation button on the screen that makes the screen rotate 90º counter-clockwise (the showkey command return the number 154 when this button is pressed).
This was working from fresh install of Ubuntu (therefore not linked to an additional package alike think-rotate). It does rotate the screen, but not the touchscreen input (finger for example), which makes it pretty useless (the install of the thinkpad-scripts package, ppa:martin-
The problem is that this rotation button is not only useless, it results with the screen having a wrong rotation at next login.
Following this thread: http://
I have not yet figured out if this happen during the log off, the shutting down, the booting or the login process.
The temporary solution is to delete this monitor.xml file (otherwise, the screen is systematically rotated 90º clockwise after login.
Small addition: the monitor.xml file is modified during the login process. I rebooted and logged in in a terminal before logging in with the graphical interface and the line 13 in the monitor.xml file was still on "normal". Then I logged in with the graphical interface and the line 13 was on "right" position.
