Description Chris 2024-07-15 20:01:49 UTC

I am using a 2-in-1 laptop (HP Envy x360) and the autorotation of the screen was working fine. In some update it stopped working, I didn't notice at first.

iio-proxy-sensor-proxy package is installed and monitor-sensor detects the current orientation of my laptop without issues but the only reaction I get is the increase of size of the title bar of the windows (because of the Touch Mode) but nothing more.

The same behavior happens using a live image of Tumbleweed (KDE-Live-x86_64-Snapshot20240714) with Wayland.

I tried KDE Neon (KDE Plasma 6.1.2) and it just works fine.

There is more people with similar issues like https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=465318 and https://forums.opensuse.org/t/autorotate-display-on-2-in-1/175496

I have an Envy x360 as well and the rotation is just unreliable. FWICT it's just random whether it works for any given boot or not. That might be a different issue to yours though as in my case monitor-sensor just doesn't detect any orientation.

If installing qt6-sensors helps, this is fixed by https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/1187689.
