KDED module for handling automatic screen rotation on X11, with visual feedback before orientation change happens. Some assembly might be required.
Run ./install_kded_rotation.sh
and install missing dependencies as needed.
You'll most likely need qt5-qtbase-devel
, cmake-utils
, extra-cmake-modules
, iio-sensor-proxy
, xrandr
, qt5-qtsensors
and kf5-kded-devel
. Depending on your distribution, these packages might have different names. CMake will tell you which packages it is missing.
orientation-helper
is where the actual screen rotation happens. This is achieved by calling xrandr --rotation $value
, which works in most circumstances. You can adjust orientation-helper
to fit your setup and reinstall to apply.
To reduce or increase the timer before the rotation happens, adjust timer.start(25);
in screenrotator.cpp
:
void ScreenRotator::startProgress() {
if (progress == -1) {
timer.start(25);
progress = 0;
}
}
