Description
Hey guys,
I am trying to mount my samsung galaxy tab in my new insrument panel but i need to mount it upside down or i cant use the power button or volume control on the tablet itself. The problem is when reverse landscape is selected as the display orientation, its actual orientation is reverse portrait. Though when reverse portrait is selected it will only ever come up with the regular portrait view. All other orientations work as they should. Interestingly my htc incredible s has no problem with either settings.
Cheers,
Col.

Fixed #1359 in my repository. Should be available with the next maintenance release.

colsoaring: I enabled my workaround only for the old 7" Galaxy Tab P1000 with Android 2.2. If you have something else please post the android log (with adb logcat or some logcat application) after starting XCSoar. The important lines start with "MODEL=" and "FINGERPRINT="

Currently the only way to make reverse landscape mode work on the galaxy tab is to use "default" orientation, which uses the built in g-sensor. But thats broken for negative g-loads.
