Re: Tablet - screen rotation

regarding sensors on linux; how can someone address/read the sensors data in realtime?
I've found lsmod + modinfo hid_sensor_rotation shows some information. But I can't tell rather the display is rotated or not.

any input really helpful, thanks.

Try looking in /sys/class/hid or /dev/input/wacom*

Re: Tablet - screen rotation

If anyone wants to move on from here

... I found all sensor devices within /sys/bus/iio/devices[0-9]/*.*
to read data; example:
cat /sys/bus/iio/devices/iio:device0/in_accel_z_raw

it takes more time than expected to get it somehow right.

Good Luck!

@gree, I'm going to remove the added tags -- "closed" is reserved for Mod & Admin usage and having "solved" in the thread title when it isn't may frustrate future searches.
