Fix variant

This script is written for my TP203NA. So, if you use on other devices,you need to fix some variants.

Check id of input devices.

$ xinput list

Result on TP203NA

⎡ Virtual core pointer                    	id=2	[master pointer  (3)]
⎜   ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer              	id=4	[slave  pointer  (2)]
⎜   ↳ ELAN24C9:00 04F3:24C9                   	id=11	[slave  pointer  (2)]
⎜   ↳ ELAN1201:00 04F3:3054 Touchpad          	id=13	[slave  pointer  (2)]
⎜   ↳ ELAN24C9:00 04F3:24C9 Pen (0)           	id=18	[slave  pointer  (2)]
⎣ Virtual core keyboard                   	id=3	[master keyboard (2)]
    ↳ Virtual core XTEST keyboard             	id=5	[slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ Asus Wireless Radio Control             	id=6	[slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ Video Bus                               	id=7	[slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ Power Button                            	id=8	[slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ Sleep Button                            	id=9	[slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ USB2.0 VGA UVC WebCam: USB2.0 V         	id=10	[slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ ELAN24C9:00 04F3:24C9                   	id=12	[slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ Asus WMI hotkeys                        	id=14	[slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ gpio-keys                               	id=15	[slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ gpio-keys                               	id=16	[slave  keyboard (3)]

    ↳ AT Translated Set 2 keyboard            	id=17	[slave  keyboard (3)]

In this case, id=11 and id=18 are need to rotate because they are touchdisplay.(One is multi touch and another is stylus.)

id=13 is need to disable because it is Touchpad under keybourd. (Key board is not enable. Because on TP203NA, keybourd is automatically disabled when it is tablet mode.)

Check output display

$ xrandr --listmonitors

Result on TP203NA

Monitors: 1
 0: +eDP-1 1366/256x768/144+0+0  eDP-1

In this case, use eDP-1 . Although, unlike input devices, it is hard to imagine that embedded more than one display. So, I think that basically you can use eDP-1 .

Fix rotate-tabletpc.sh

Fix berow section besed on checked values.

input_rotate=(11 18) #Touch display for finger and stylus
input_disable=(13) #Touchpad

output="eDP-1"

Copy bash file

cd rotate-tabletpc
cp rotate-tabletpc.sh ~/bin/

Run

rotate-tabletpc.sh

Whenever you run, display rotation is switched between normal and left.

I recomend to set the comannd to keybourd shortcuts or Launcher.

Uninstall

rm ~/bin/rotate-tabletpc
