Thank you so much, this takes a lot of skill to set up!
It seems after executing this script, my hi-dpi scaling setting goes away. Not sure how to deal with this :/
it doesnt disable my keyboard
xinput --list | grep -m3 'Touchscreen' | tail -n1 | grep -o 'id=[0-9]\+' | grep -o '[0-9]\+'
will return the id of the touchscreen, without the user having to explicitly specify it.
awesome! works very well on HP Spectre X2 Fedora 23
Just need to change the Touchpad to:
SYNAPTICS Synaptics HIDUSB TouchPad V07 Touchpad
I wonder how you can auto detect screen orientation via the gyrometer / accelerometer.
I have a lenovo yoga 2 11 and it says the Elan touchscreen isn't found or something. Does anyone know what I could use instead of that.
xinput --list
on my Yoga 900 13ISK2 does not print any Touchpads. There are 3 pointers, though:
$ xinput --list
⎡ Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)]
⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ SYNA2B29:00 06CB:77C6 id=10 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ ELAN21EF:00 04F3:227C id=11 [slave pointer (2)]
⎣ Virtual core keyboard id=3 [master keyboard (2)]
↳ Virtual core XTEST keyboard id=5 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Power Button id=6 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Video Bus id=7 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Power Button id=8 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Lenovo EasyCamera id=9 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Ideapad extra buttons id=12 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ AT Translated Set 2 keyboard id=13 [slave keyboard (3)]
How can I go on?
For Lenovo Yoga 300 (and I assume 900 too @mvaled) use Virtual core XTEST pointer
in the script instead of ELAN Touchscreen
.
Works perfectly fine. Thank you.
For Lenovo Yoga 3 pro:
TouchscreenDevice='Virtual core XTEST pointer'
TouchpadDevice='SYNA2B22:00 06CB:2714'
https://github.com/mrquincle/yoga-900-auto-rotate/ is directly tied to the accelerometer.
Many thanks, works very well with a thinkpad x230T.
This doesn't work on a Yoga 730-15iwl. I tried
TouchscreenDevice='Virtual core XTEST pointer'
TouchpadDevice='MSFT0001:02 06CB:7F8F Touchpad'
but this seems not to work, only the Touchpad gets dis/enabled, but the screen stays normal.
Use these commands instead:
xrandr --output $(xrandr |grep eDP|cut -d" " -f1) --rotate left
xrandr --output $(xrandr |grep eDP|cut -d" " -f1) --rotate normal
I created a new script rotatescreen.sh

Hello there, Thanks for this tool.
I've been using this on my laptop for sometime now and it works good. But I just bought a new monitor and When I use the commands, it just rotates the laptop screen and not the monitor screen. Even when I'm using just the monitor, It it changes the laptop display orientation.
How do I change the monitor orientation? What do I need to change in the code to change to monitor instead of the Laptop builtin display?
What do I need to change in the code to change to monitor instead of the Laptop builtin display?
look at line 8: you have to change line 9 to match the screen, you want to rotate
why does xinput show no touchscreen devices? I can see it is working although 90 degrees off after xrandr -o left ... ASUS T100HA mini-transformer Manjaro Linux Release: 21.1.6
Hi, Thank's alot for writing this script! It works on my Dell XPS-18 .I use 'USBest Technology SiS HID Touch Controller touch'
Hi, thanks! It worked well for me, as soon as I chanced the name of the hardware.
A minor issue, though, is that the cursor is now doubled: it remains a shodow cursor that is in the same position as the last rotated screen.
