This affects HP/Compaq 8510p too. This model too was sold with "3D DriveGuard", and the screen orientation is:
flat: nothing changes, keeps whatever is already in use lift the laptop tilt slightly up (screen-mount is higher than mouse-pad: up-side down !! This is very annoying Keyboard all the way up, like a painting, normal orientation: up side down !! Keyboard all the way up, like a painting, upside down: screen turns the normal way. This is how you recover the screen orientation Put laptop on the sides, screens turns as expected -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to iio-sensor-proxy in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1767650 Title: [HP Elitebook Folio 9470m] Screen rotates upside-down when laptop is not flat Status in iio-sensor-proxy package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: HP Elitebook Folio 9470m. This system is not a tablet or convertible, and does not have a touchscreen. If the laptop is sitting flat during boot, the display orientation is normal. If the laptop is not sitting flat during boot, or if it is moved out of flat, the display rotates and the orientation it rotates to is inverted upside-down. This happens at the login screen as well as after login. This laptop should really never have the screen rotate in the first place, as it's not a tablet or convertible, but in the event that rotation is happening it shouldn't be upside-down. I have locked the rotation in gnome shell and in the login screen using the rotation lock button in the respective system menus. It would be nice if there was a system-wide setting & this didn't need to be done on a per-user basis. This gsettings command will also lock the gnome-shell rotation: gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.peripherals.touchscreen orientation-lock true However the above key doesn't affect the login screen, which has its own separate rotation button in its own version of the system menu. $ lsb_release -a No LSB modules are available.
