1. I’m using the xserver-xorg-video-intel version 2.99.917+git20151202.da9ad388-0ubuntu0sarvatt~trusty

available from this repository:

http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/ppa/xorg-edgers

http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/package/xorg-edgers/xenial/main/base/xserver-xorg-video-intel

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-intel

I have changed also this in my config:
add in this file: /etc/modprobe.d/i915-kms.conf
options i915 modeset=1

2. I don’t remember if I have done this also in order to get the driver working correctly, but I see now that I have it in my config:
added in: /etc/initramfs-tools/modules
i915
intel_agp
and after that I have updated my initramfs with:
update-initramfs -u

3. in my default GRUB config I have:
/etc/default/grub
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=”fbcon=rotate:1 i915.modeset=1 vt.handoff=7 acpi_backlight=intel”
after the change of this file, run:
update-grub

 

P.S. I’m rotating my screen via the default KDE configuration Display rotation, and the rotation isn’t changed if I rotate the screen, I’m using the tablet only as a “laptop” with the original Chuwi Hi10 docking keyboard
