I am sorry about that! we decide to remove this AUX button key event coz we met
the landscape flickering problem. When we are able to solve this problem, we
will put it back. Thanks for your opinion!
if you'd like to keep the original one, you may use this package.

The entire AUX menu has been removed, please can you put it back for gta01
owners and if needs be *just* remove the rotation option for gta02 users.

This sounds quite weird to me. You could as well say "receiving delivery status
using openmoko-messages does not work, so lets remove openmoko-messages
completely until thats fixed".
Apart from landscape mode working actually very well on GTA01 (IMO at least), I
also think that the other options of the AUX menu (Screenshot and toggle
Fullscreen) are quite useful too.
So I would agree with Andy, that only the broken option should only be removed
for the hardware which it is broken on.
Perhaps there should be some "Rotating screen support" config flag to
disable/enable the appropriate option on different devices? This could also be
specified as a command line argument to neod, where the right flag could be
obtained by some switch structure in matchbox's session file, similar to the one
in /etc/default/gsmd, that specifies GSMD command line arguments depending on
the actual hardware OpenMoko? is runing on.

yes, that is my fault, since i misunderstood what Will wants. We would like to
disable or remove SWAP orientation button from GTA02 devices on pressing AUX
key. I've already put the AUX key back today and will make a patch for GTA02
devices only. Thanks a lot for pointing out the problem!

Is there any reason this is being removed? It is quite useful.
