Possible to change the trigger? #15

My pc activates the tablet mode when the screen is turned full 360° around. Is it possible to change that so that the tablet mode is activated already when the screen is turned only 180°?

I'm using a Lenovo Yoga 530, which uses the device pci-0000:00:1f.0-platform-VPC2004:00-event.

Normal/tablet events come from libinput, where they come from the kernel, where they most likely come from hardware directly. For some models those events might be synthetic and be calculated by the driver from the data from a pair of accelerometers, for others there might be a hardware toggle. So no, in the main version of the project there is no control over it unless you want to do kernel hacking. There's also an old version in the old directory that calculates tablet mode indirectly if two accelerometers are available in userspace. I believe it had a threshold at 180 degrees, and it's trivial to change.

Oh, ok. Then I guess I can't change it. Thanks :)
