No Automatic Rotation on a Lenovo Ideapad Flex 5

I am using KDE and arch linux on a Lenovo Ideapad Flex 5.

$ uname -r

I have been exprimenting with some of the methods of getting screen rotation to be automatic as described here https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ta … c_rotation,
but while I have been able to solve some issues screen I am now stuck. Here is what I have done so far. First, it looks like neither https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/kded-rotation-git/ nor
https://github.com/GuLinux/screenrotator work with wayland currently. So I am using X11. I read through the script /usr/bin/orientation-helper carefully. It assumes X11 in the way that xrandr is used, and it works just fine when I call it from the commandline like so

orientation-helper -r bottom-up

but it does not work automatically. Next I tried following the debuging steps for iio-sensor-proxy describe here https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/hadess/iio-sensor-proxy/, and discovered that my accelerometer was not being recognized. From the lspci ouptut given above, I guessed that it was probably the Renoir Sensor Fusion Hub. I found this discussion https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=252815, and so I installed https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/amd-sfh-hid-dkms/, added

amd_iommu=off

to the grub command line, and rebooted. Now my accelerometer is detected as can be seen from this output

$ udevadm info --export-db | grep iio
P: /devices/0018:03FE:0001.0001/HID-SENSOR-200073.1.auto/iio:device0
N: iio:device0
E: DEVPATH=/devices/0018:03FE:0001.0001/HID-SENSOR-200073.1.auto/iio:device0
E: SUBSYSTEM=iio
E: DEVNAME=/dev/iio:device0
E: DEVTYPE=iio_device
E: IIO_SENSOR_PROXY_TYPE=iio-poll-accel iio-buffer-accel
E: SYSTEMD_WANTS=iio-sensor-proxy.service
E: SUBSYSTEM=iio

but still no automatic rotation. Here are the remaining debuging steps described in the readme for iio-sensor-proxy 

$ gdbus introspect --system --dest net.hadess.SensorProxy --object-path /net/hadess/SensorProxy
node /net/hadess/SensorProxy {
  interface org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties {
    methods:
      Get(in  s interface_name,
          in  s property_name,
          out v value);
      GetAll(in  s interface_name,
             out a{sv} properties);
      Set(in  s interface_name,
          in  s property_name,
          in  v value);
    signals:
      PropertiesChanged(s interface_name,
                        a{sv} changed_properties,
                        as invalidated_properties);
    properties:
  };
  interface org.freedesktop.DBus.Introspectable {
    methods:
      Introspect(out s xml_data);
    signals:
    properties:
  };
  interface org.freedesktop.DBus.Peer {
    methods:
      Ping();
      GetMachineId(out s machine_uuid);
    signals:
    properties:
  };
  interface net.hadess.SensorProxy {
    methods:
      ClaimAccelerometer();
      ReleaseAccelerometer();
      ClaimLight();
      ReleaseLight();
      ClaimProximity();
      ReleaseProximity();
    signals:
    properties:
      readonly b HasAccelerometer = true;
      readonly s AccelerometerOrientation = 'undefined';
      readonly b HasAmbientLight = false;
      readonly s LightLevelUnit = 'lux';
      readonly d LightLevel = 0.0;
      readonly b HasProximity = false;
      readonly b ProximityNear = false;
  };
  node Compass {
  };
};

and

$ monitor-sensor
    Waiting for iio-sensor-proxy to appear
+++ iio-sensor-proxy appeared
=== Has accelerometer (orientation: undefined)
=== No ambient light sensor
=== No proximity sensor

Somehow the orientation is undefied. I get the same thing regardless of whether I use the AUR or non-AUR version of iio-sensor-proxy. Using the AUR version here is some more debugging information

Also I found this discussion https://github.com/hadess/iio-sensor-proxy/issues/228, so I tried

$ cat '/sys/bus/iio/devices/iio:device'*/*raw*
0
0
0

and the output is the same irrespecitve of the orientation of my screen. So, where should I go from here?

Re: No Automatic Rotation on a Lenovo Ideapad Flex 5

Found somewhere, you have to watch state

#!/bin/sh
# Auto rotate screen based on device orientation

# Receives input from monitor-sensor (part of iio-sensor-proxy package)
# Screen orientation and launcher location is set based upon accelerometer position
# Launcher will be on the left in a landscape orientation and on the bottom in a portrait orientation
# This script should be added to startup applications for the user

# touchscreen rotation has to set up too...


# Clear sensor.log so it doesn't get too long over time
> sensor.log

# Launch monitor-sensor and store the output in a variable that can be parsed by the rest of the script
monitor-sensor >> sensor.log 2>&1 &

# Parse output or monitor sensor to get the new orientation whenever the log file is updated
# Possibles are: normal, bottom-up, right-up, left-up
# Light data will be ignored
while inotifywait -e modify sensor.log; do

# Read the last line that was added to the file and get the orientation
    ORIENTATION=$(tail -n 1 sensor.log | grep 'orientation' | grep -oE '[^ ]+$')

# Set the actions to be taken for each possible orientation
    case "$ORIENTATION" in
	normal)
	    xrandr --output DSI1 --rotate normal && gsettings set com.canonical.Unity.Launcher launcher-position Left ;;

	bottom-up)
	    xrandr --output DSI1 --rotate inverted && gsettings set com.canonical.Unity.Launcher launcher-position Left ;;

	right-up)
	    xrandr --output DSI1 --rotate right && gsettings set com.canonical.Unity.Launcher launcher-position Bottom ;;

	left-up)
	    xrandr --output DSI1 --rotate left && gsettings set com.canonical.Unity.Launcher launcher-position Bottom ;;
