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 here: https://gist.github.com/rubo77/d43cc5b3ff65d6df28b8b8c3c089f23b

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'
