Screen rotation support on OS2008 (n8x0)


os2008 rotation from Oriol Jimenez on Vimeo.
I succesfully actived the screen rotation support on my n810 (it works on n800). Here's how i did it:

1st - Download these files:
http://sse2.net/rotate/kernel-rx-34_2.6.21.0-osso71-randr

http://sse2.net/rotate/pool/main/libx/libxrandr/libxrandr2_1.2.2-1_armel.deb

http://sse2.net/rotate/pool/main/x/xorg-server/xserver-xomap_1.3.99.0~git20070321-0osso20074202-randr01_armel.deb

http://sse2.net/rotate/pool/main/r/rotate-sb-plugin/rotate-sb-plugin_0.1-1_armel.deb

2nd - flash with the new kernel (make a back-up before doing this step, this flash ONLY the kernel, not your filesystem (programs and files)):
# ./flasher-3.0 -f -k kernel-rx-34_2.6.21.0-osso71-randr

3rd - install apps:
(in the n8x0)
# sudo gainroot
# dpkg -i --force-all *deb (execute this in the directori containing the *deb files downloaded in step 1.
# reboot
Thats all! It should work.
