Thank you for the bug report! Please note that Plasma 5.25.5 is not supported for much longer by KDE; supported versions are 5.24, and 5.26 or newer. If at all possible please upgrade to a supported version and verify that the bug is still happening there. If you're unsure how to do this, contact your distributor about it.

I'd really like to stay on an LTS version of Kubuntu (for obvious reasons) I just double-checked some things.
On original Jammy (now on 5.24.7 with updates) there wasn't even a change of the display resolution possible under wayland and due to some compatibility issues with e.g syncthing-gtk and claws-mail i decided to go with x11 instead of wayland.
After some time i added the backports and backports-extra ppa, but forgot to activate the first one.
When I made up for it, there's a new item ("digitizer tablet") beside "graphics tablet" (which still says "just under x11") under input devices that seems to care about rotating like the screen.
And that really works (under wayland plasma 5.25.5).
So just left to do/fix seems to be activating rotating in the screen settings under x11 (change bug to component kcm_kscreen?)
Unfortunately this can't work on X11 for technical reasons. It already works on Wayland in version 5.26 and later. (In reply to Nate Graham from comment #4) > Unfortunately this can't work on X11 for technical reasons. Could you point me to some detailed reason? As X11 can rotate manually, i assumed that it would be possible automatically as well. > It already works on Wayland in version 5.26 and later. So for the next few years, i'll have to decide at login screen choosing a session type if i want to use rotating on my tablet (and accept flaws in several programs with wayland) or use anything else without the ability to rotate. Not ideal, but i could deal with that. It was an internal KWin issue that made it not technically feasible to implement on X11 IIRC. > Unfortunately this can't work on X11 for technical reasons. It already works on Wayland in version 5.26 and later. What exactly are you referring to? Automatically rotating the screen based on device orientation or rotating tablet input based on the screen orientation? KWin isn't really involved with tablet input on X11, it's all managed by https://invent.kde.org/system/wacomtablet. It's probably doable for it to rotate the tablet based on the screen rotation (I say probably because I haven't thought about it more than 5 minutes) |
