All:
Have been happy with Leap on Dell Inspriron 530 (3GHz Core2Duo, 4GB RAM, 512GB SSD (boot, /, swap), 2x 1TB HDD Array (/home)) , so I am converting everything over to Tumbleweed. After installing an SSD as Primary (/), 2GHz Centrino (Pentium-M), and 2GB RAM on my Portege I have install openSUSE-Tumbleweed-DVD-i586-Snapshot20200227-Media. KDE/Gnome options would install, but booted to garbage so I ended up installing the bare GUI. I am using this 2-in-1 as a graphics tablet for GIMP etc. I would've preferred KDE to match my desktop computer(s), but more important that this machine works as a Graphics Tablet. With the exception of auto display rotation and touchscreen orientation, it does quite well.
I have installed ARandR to make it easier to use randr to rotate the display and that works, but does not address mouse/touchpad/wacom orientation. I have installed additional utilities (io-sensor-proxy and inotify-tools) but getting them configured has been beyond my grasp thus far. Most of what I have found is not opensuse related, so some instructions are hit-and-miss. Some answers require KDE/Cininnimun/Gnome, so maybe It would be better if there is a way to get KDE to fly, but things are working other than proper rotation of display and input device orientation.
Anyone have any suggestions or experiences with this?
God Bless,
