Hi Ruis, just wanted you to know i created a desktop icon in order to activate/desactivate auto rotate.
It works with 2008.9/FDOM, but should work with other distributions. I extended the /etc/init.d/accel-rotate to add it a "switch" function, and used the tap/untap icon for the desktop entry. Here you got it all.
