Description Luya Tshimbalanga 2021-05-07 23:43:06 UTC 
Description of problem:
Since 40 beta version, the screen rotation no longer works on GNOME Wayland due to upstream change to detect touchscreen support for devices like 2-in-1 laptops. 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
40.0

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Log in on GNOME (Wayland by default)
2. 
3.

Actual results:
Screen rotation failed when turning the device in portrait mode.

Expected results:
Auto-rotation of screen depending of the position from the device

Additional info:
The issue was originally reported on https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1651886#c53 after upgrading from Fedora 33 which was mutter 3.38

monitor-sensor commands confirms the accelerometer runs but the screen failed to rotate on mutter in Wayland session.
