Unfortunately, rotation support isn't bundled with Maemo even though the tablets support hardware screen rotation. Fortunately, installing the necessary packages for rotation support is a relatively easy process.

	1		== Installing ==
			First, make sure you know what you're doing! Although the steps outlined here are easy to follow and mostly safe, you are working with important system files, and a careless misstep could leaving you in need of a [[updating the firmware\|reflash]].

			These instructions only work for Diablo, and specifically version 5.2008.43-7, so make sure your system is completely up-to-date, and make sure [[Extras]] is enabled. You'll be installing the Advanced Backlight utility, which contains the rotation control. To begin, you will need to get [[root access]], open XTerm and become root.

			There are three slightly different sets of packages for the [[Nokia N800\|N800]], [[Nokia N810\|N810]] and [[Nokia N810WME\|N810 WiMax Edition]], so follow the appropriate steps for your device.

			=== N800 ===

			'''''Successfully tested on N800 with 5.2008.43-7.'''''

			Run this command in XTerm as root:

			apt-get install advanced-backlight osso-software-version-'''rx34'''-unlocked

			=== N810 ===
			Run this command in XTerm as root:

			apt-get install advanced-backlight osso-software-version-'''rx44'''-unlocked

			'''''Successfully tested on n810 with 5.2008.43-7.'''''

			If you are flashed your device with 5.2008.43-7 (not updated from a earlier firmware!) then you only install advanced-backlight in Application manager and continue with next step.

			=== N810W ===
			'''''Successfully tested on n810 WM with 5.2008.43-7.'''''

			Run this command in XTerm as root:

			apt-get install advanced-backlight osso-software-version-'''rx48'''-unlocked

			=== For all N8x0 devices ===

			'''''Sucsessfully tested on n800 with 5.2008.43-7.'''''

			'''''Successfully tested on n810 with 5.2008.43-7.'''''

			'''''Successfully tested on n810 WM with 5.2008.43-7.'''''

			After following the appropriate steps for your device, continue and run:

			<nowiki>maemo-mini-curl -o kernel-diablo-flasher_2.6.21-200842maemo1rotationfast_all.deb http://outpo.st/rotate/kernel-diablo-flasher_2.6.21-200842maemo1rotationfast_all.deb
			maemo-mini-curl -o xserver-xomap_1.3.99.0~git20070321-0osso20083801rotation_armel.deb http://outpo.st/rotate/xserver-xomap_1.3.99.0~git20070321-0osso20083801rotation_armel.deb
			dpkg -i kernel-diablo-flasher_2.6.21-200842maemo1rotationfast_all.deb xserver-xomap_1.3.99.0~git20070321-0osso20083801rotation_armel.deb</nowiki>

			Once it finishes loading (it will take a minute), press enter to complete the proccess.
			Reboot, make sure Advanced Backlight is enabled (Control panel -> Panels -> Status bar) and rotate using the selection in Advanced Backlight from your status bar.
