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.

		+
		+	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.
