Accelerometer does not change orientation

[David Henningsson]

I have a 2-in-1 laptop with an accelerometer (Inspiron 13-7359). I would like the screen to change orientation automatically when the screen is rotated.

I've noticed that the accelerometer works correctly, by installing iio-sensors-proxy and manually executing d-Bus methods.
I've also noticed that upstream gnome-settings-daemon uses iio-sensors-proxy whereas unity-settings-daemon does not.

That's as far as I've come. Do you think we should add iio-sensors-proxy to main and the default image, and also grab Gnome's patches for orientation?

I am experiencing the same issue, on a Dell Insprion 13 series 7000 model 7378 2-in-1 laptop.

Is there a fix for this?
