Hi all,

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
