No Automatic Screen Rotation on SP8 #864

Closed k4ever closed 2 years ago

k4ever commented 2 years ago

Device: Surface Pro 8 Core i5 Distribution: EndeavourOS (Arch Linux) Surface Kernel Version: 5.18.5-arch1-1-surface Desktop: KDE Plasma 5.25.1(Wayland), GNOME 42 (Wayland)

I recently installed the Arch version of SurfaceLinux kernel on my SP8. I'm running EndeavourOS with the KDE Plasma 5.25.1 and GNOME 42 desktops installed. Screen autorotation is not working.

I have iio-sensor-proxy version 3.3-1 installed. When I start the service with systemctl start iio-sensor-proxy, I get no output. When I run sudo /usr/lib/iio-sensor-proxy -r -v, I get the following output:

** (iio-sensor-proxy:4000): DEBUG: 15:23:02.508: No sensors or missing kernel drivers for the sensors

When I run lsmod | grep iio, I also get no output. What am I missing? Has anyone gotten screen autorotation to work on the SP8?

Seems like a duplicate of #861.

Auto-rotation should work with iio-sensor-proxy and the patch resulting from #861. So I'm closing this as duplicate.

Thanks! Understood. I apologize for not closing it once the OP from #861 verified that the lack of sensors also affected the screen rotation. Thanks for your work!

No worries.
