Windows 8.1 Tablet Auto-rotation 90 degrees out

[gjefferies]

Hi,

 

We have bought several linx 10 tablets and I have put our Windows 8.1 Enterprise build on, so I can join them to the domain etc

Everything works great, execpt for the auto-rotation of the screen.

 

It didn't work until I manually added in the

 

Kionix Sensor Fusion device and

Simple Device Orientation Sensor.

 

Auto-rotation works i.e. the screen changes, but it seems to be 90 degrees out.

 

i.e. When the tablet is landscape the screen is portrait etc.

 

Anyone know how to resolve this?

 

The ones out of the box work as expected.

 

Thanks

Gareth

I have the exact same problem.

 

I was wondering if it might be a registry setting that needs changing but also found this but haven't tried it yet - Screen Orientation - Change in Windows 8

 

I know its just the manual way to change orientation but wondering if it might help to change the orientation when its in the wrong position to the right position.

Yeah I have seen that website, Manually changing the screen works... So I am gonna come back to it...

The only thing I can found is there is an additional service on the out of the box ones....

Have you tried downloading the drivers from this site - http://www.mysn.de/secure/userarea/download.asp?KategorienOrder=010;010&show=Support - As it is a rebranded Schenker Element Tablet

 

Interesting about the additional service running on the stock setup. I have a Linx 8 myself so would be interesting to see if that service is running on that too as its main use would be portrait unlike the Linx 10 which would be landscape.

The additional services can be found in the registry

 

at

 

HKey_local_machine\system\CurrentControlSet\Services\SensorFusion and possibly SensorServiceDriver

 

I've added them into a new built tablet and rebooted but it doesn't make any difference.

 

Cheers

That's a shame as that would have been an easy fix. I'm still not any further forward with this, have you had any joy?

Hi, I m having the same issue with auto rotate disabled on my tablet. My problem

is I can't find the Kionix Sensor Fusion device and Simple Device Orientation Sensor software or driver, where did you obtain these? I bought an identical tablet to extract all drivers and transfer over to the other, however that driver or software is missing but everything else worked. If you could get back to me cheers.

Hi,

 

No I haven't made any progress on these, I have to get them out the door, so its currently a known issue....

 

Thanks

Have a look at this thread the drivers work as there is a reg file you run after - http://www.edugeek.net/forums/general-chat/144940-windows-linx-tablet-viable-alternative-netbook-4.html

 

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

 

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\ROOT\SENSOR\0000\Device Parameters\kxfusion]

"ACPI\\SMO8500\\1-0"="{DBCFFCEA-38C5-4386-9945-92F183AA5700}"

"Orientation"=hex:01,01,00,00,01,01,02
