Yoga 370

This little script triggers the rotation of the screen when executed while the device is tilted. The script was tested under Fedora 25 (4.10.13-200.fc25.x86_64).

/usr/bin/screen-rotation.sh 

#! /bin/bash 
/usr/bin/cat /sys/bus/iio/devices/iio\:device3/in_accel_x_raw


Allow the execution of this script with a sudoers.d file

/etc/sudoers.d/screen-rotation 

yourUser ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/screen-rotation.sh


Now you can call this by a script or manual by clicking on a desktop file

~/.local/share/applications/rotate-screen.desktop
