To use them your system should have the commands +`xrandr` and `xsetwacom` available. + + +Options +------- + +The script accepts three command line options + +* `-s` Rotates the screen 90 degrees counterclockwise. + +* `-p` Sets the stylus input orientation to the same as the screen + orientation. + +* `-t` Sets the trackpoint orientation to the same as the screen + orientation. + +These can be combined, for example with `-stp` for rotating +everything. The order of the options does not matter. The script will +make sure that the screen is rotated first, and then sets the correct +input device orientations. + + +Why so many options? +-------------------- + +Different desktop environments do different things automatically. For +example on the MATE-desktop in Parabola, pressing the bezel rotation +button will always rotate the screen (but not the stylus), even when +not using this script. Hence you could use `rotate.sh -pt` to fix the +pen (stylus) and trackpoint orientations. + +On other systems the desktop environment might automatically update +the stylus orientation whenever the screen orientation changes. In +this case it is enough to rotate only the screen by `-s`. + +Lastly, if your desktop enviroment does absolutely nothing +automatically, use `-spt`. This might be the case for example when +useing LXDE. + + +Conditions for redistribution +----------------------------- + +This program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify +it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by +the Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or (at +your option) any later version. + +This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but +WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of +MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
