Monitor changing mount-matrix on udev device #244

Closed iam-TJ closed 4 years ago

iam-TJ commented 5 years ago

I'm trying to fix the rotation of an Asus T300CHI 2-in-1 transformer. I'm making changes to the udev hwdb and they are reflected in a query of the db but "monitor-sensor" still reports the same orientation as it does without the hwdb change. Should it be reporting the orientation as changed by hwdb?

$ cat /sys/class/dmi/id/modalias

=== Has accelerometer (orientation: right-up)

This is whilst using classic laptop orientation so it is reporting "right-up" when it should be "normal", which if I've got it correct, means the adjustment should be +90 degrees (clockwise).

I found I had to restart iio-sensor-proxy to have monitor-sensor see the changes, despite the fact that iio-sensor-proxy was logging a change to the udev database.

And the correct working setting I found to be:

$ cat /etc/udev/hwdb.d/61-sensor-local.hwdb 
# /sys/class/i2c-adapter/i2c-0/i2c-INVN6500\:00/iio\:device1/in_accel_mount_matrix = 1, 0, 0; 0, 1, 0; 0, 0, 1
sensor:modalias:acpi:INVN6500*:dmi:*svnASUSTeK*:pnT300CHI*
#                  swap L<>R; rotate +90; no change
 ACCEL_MOUNT_MATRIX=0, -1, 0; 1, 0, 0; 0, 0, 1

We only read the mount matrix on startup, when the device is initialised. Adding a helper to monitor the mount matrix might be a good idea though, even if the use case is rather limited.
