I recently purchased a Fujitsu Lifebook T5010. It came pre-loaded with Linux mint olivia. I had a hard time figuring out how to use Linux mint and installed Ubuntu 13. 04 on my laptop.

Since I installed Ubuntu my Screen has stopped rotating when I turn it into tablet mode. Is there a website that I need to go to download a driver or a program so that the screen will auto-rotate when I switch it to tablet mode?

In Linux, all drivers are inside the kernel, so to get new drivers you just download the latest Linux kernel. You can find Ubuntu kernels here: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/

I highly recommend the latest kernel 3.12-rc7. To install the kernel, you simply download the three debs for your system. If you have a 64-bit system then that would mean downloading *_all.deb and *_amd64.deb and installing them.

For 64-bit 3.12-rc7

cd ~/tmp
wget http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.12-rc7-saucy/linux-headers-3.12.0-031200rc7-generic_3.12.0-031200rc7.201310271935_amd64.deb
wget http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.12-rc7-saucy/linux-headers-3.12.0-031200rc7_3.12.0-031200rc7.201310271935_all.deb
wget http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.12-rc7-saucy/linux-image-3.12.0-031200rc7-generic_3.12.0-031200rc7.201310271935_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i *.deb

For 32-bit 3.12-rc7

cd ~/tmp
wget http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.12-rc7-saucy/linux-headers-3.12.0-031200rc7-generic_3.12.0-031200rc7.201310271935_i386.deb
wget http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.12-rc7-saucy/linux-headers-3.12.0-031200rc7_3.12.0-031200rc7.201310271935_all.deb
wget http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.12-rc7-saucy/linux-image-3.12.0-031200rc7-generic_3.12.0-031200rc7.201310271935_i386.deb
sudo dpkg -i *.deb
