Just installed Gnome 3.14 on Arch. What's the function of this new button on system menu?
1 Answer
This is the "rotation lock" button, for tablets and similar hardware. It shows up if gnome-settings-daemon has found at least one accelerometer device, marked by ID_INPUT_ACCELEROMETER
in udev. (It might also show up
Run the following to list all devices marked as such:
udevadm trigger -v -n -p ID_INPUT_ACCELEROMETER=1
To manually disable the orientation plugin of gnome-settings-daemon:
gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.orientation active false

Thank you! I've disabled it now ... I think this is the HDD accelerometer ... but I have an SSD so I can ignore it :) Oct 24, 2014 at 19:30
