yoga 3 screen does not rotate

[seal j]

Hi Developer Team!

i don't know if you have developed it as a feature or not, but Lenovo Yoga 3's screen rotates while flipping the screen back or holding it vertivalli - just like a pad.
Are you about to develop this feature?

I love Ubuntu! Thank you.

To be fair, this is not a problem in Unity (which handles display changes just fine) it's a problem supporting the position sensor on the Yoga 3 and integrating it with the udev system to provide feedback to the X11 server and invoke xrandr.

Many devices have position sensors, and each device is different and needs bespoke software to get such rotation working.

Thanks for the feedback.
Please let me add a point to support my request.
Please consider that the flagship (high value) laptops are purchased by
people for whom it matters what kind of laptop they have and they have
the money t spend money on it. They represent a positive PR value when
Ubuntu works on them as Windows.
many thanks

unity-settings-daemon would probably be the piece of code doing that work
