I have a Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro and would like to get the gyroscope running.

But how should I start accessing it and including it in my system? (Here I made a dump of lspci -vvv and lsmod on my Lenovo Yoga 2)

I would like to automatically rotate the screen when I rotate the laptop.

I already have successfully created a script, that manually rotates the screen with the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Alt+F5 (see https://askubuntu.com/a/485632/34298)

Maybe there is a way to adapt this script? https://gist.github.com/emiller/6488449

I also tried to add the autorotate PPA from Karol Krizka and install it:

echo "deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/kkrizka/thinkpad-x61t/ubuntu lucid main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/kkrizka-auto-rotate.list

#Update apt-get’s package list:
sudo apt-get update

#Install the script and necessary packages:
sudo apt-get install wacom-tools python-xrandr autorotate

But It seems like there is a dependency problem:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 autorotate : Depends: python-central (>= 0.6.11) but it is not installable
 python-xrandr : Depends: python-central (>= 0.6.11) but it is not installable

Add the autorotate PPA from Karol Krizka 

echo "deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/kkrizka/thinkpad-x61t/ubuntu lucid main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/kkrizka-auto-rotate.list

#Update apt-get’s package list:
sudo apt-get update

#Install the script and necessary packages:
sudo apt-get install wacom-tools python-xrandr autorotate

# You can have the auto-rotate.py damon to start with GDM, so it will be available to all users, even during login. This is done by adding the following line to the end of the /etc/gdm/Init/Default file before the exit 0 command:
auto-rotate.py&

# Restart GDM to start the script:
sudo /etc/init.d/lightdm restart

Swivel down your screen into the tablet mode, and tilt it at around 45 degrees to test if everything is working.

If you also want to rotate it manually, Follow the general instructions for setting up buttons for manual rotation.

Note

This doesn't work on m Ubuntu 14.04

This is not a solution but for me it ended the search for one:

I was satisfied when I found out how to rotate it manually
