Summary: Touchscreen Orientation Manager for touchscreen tablets (e.g. Surface RT/Touch screen ARM Chromebooks) running GNU/Linux with X11
Description:
Screen Orientation Manager for touchscreen tablets and convertible laptops running GNU/Linux with X11 You can use this app to easily rotate the touchscreen input, display orientation, touchpad and stylus input in one go. While automatic rotation of input devices works seamlessly in GNOME and KDE on Wayland, many entry-level devices use lightweight desktop environments like XFCE, MATE, or LXDE, which rely on X11 and lack support for automatic touchscreen input rotation. As a result, when the screen is rotated, touch inputs can become misaligned (e.g., after rotating the screen, touching the top-left corner might register as a tap in the bottom-right). This app resolves that issue. It also runs in the system tray, making it easy to access when using the device in tablet mode.
