pls I need a hint

[pfps]

ideapad-laptop is quite old. No one should need it any more.

[olekhy]

thx! after compiling programs and install i get them in /usr/bin.

what would you suggest for the automatic start "orientation" and "light" at boot. i've seen system/*.service in sensors/. or is not possible for current state of development, should sudo orientation used to running program?

[pfps]

You could automatically start these programs I guess. Just make sure that you can kill them if needed.

I landed here with the acpi_video_backlight_support issue you describe initially. how did you get around it?

The general consensus is that you shouldn't need to build that component at all - its functions were rolled into the kernel a while ago.

I just installed the latest Ubuntu, but I'm not getting screen orientation detection. Should I be? Do I need to configure it? On Feb 28, 2016 1:30 PM, "jymbob" [email protected] wrote:
