Hello everyone :)
I have been searching the web for a place(s) that have information on the X200 tablet and I stumbled across this site. First, this is for a clean install, no Lenovo image or RR disks. I tried searching here but I didn't find anything specific to the tablet. I am looking for the program or driver that makes the display rotate when you swivel the screen into either landscape or portrait mode; does anyone know?

Thanks!

Check the drivers at this link, especially the hotkeys drivers.

Thanks. I have tried it twice and from what I have seen there maybe a sequence to the installation that I am missing too.

Make sure you use the video driver from Lenovo.

Also note that when you run the executable that you download, it does not install the driver, merely unpacks it. You have to navigate to the directory which you unpacked to and run the installation from there.

Thanks everyone. I'm doing my fourth clean install and that was the last thing I needed to track down. I found the executable for the screen rotation and I now need to locate what driver download it came from.

For reference to anyone else looking for the files,

The executable is ScreenRotation.exe. It was located c:SWTOOLS\DRIVERS\TBUTIL\. I'm guessing this is the default location or a glitch I had when it was downloaded. There are lots of other drivers in there as well. It is odd since the ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/pc/pccbbs/mo ... gd15ww.txt online says the default is C:\DRIVERS\WIN\TBUTIL. I didn't have the WIN folder :( <---no jokes about my lack of WIN :lol:

Anyway, I think it is the LENTBCTL.exe (tablet shortcut menu) unpacked driver I ran to get the display to rotate.

Once I get all my non Lenovo drivers installed I will start adding them back and seeing which does what and where it gets stored.

Thanks again :)
