Comment 12 for bug 159026

The scripts as well as the rotate daemon work fine on Ubuntu Hardy on an X61t here. I modified the scripts as follows to start/stop the rotate daemon as needed. The daemon is only useful when in tablet mode, therefore starting it using an init script is not ideal IMO. Adding / removing the kernel module within the swivel scripts might not be what you want though.
