With xrandr, commands to rotate like "xrandr -o right" should work, AFAIK.

killall xkbd?
I'm currently using the community SSU which features screen rotation by default without the need for Xrandr. So should I go ahead and install this on top of it?

And yeah, killall kill xkbd works in Xterminal but not in my /usr/bin script.

I'm pretty sure it's because, when executing xkbd, it hangs in the script code so that any later commands never gets reached.

Is there any other possible way around this?
