I've noticed that physically turning the screen does not rotate the image on the Nexus 7. Is there any way to rotate the screen?

The screen can be rotated via software by running /usr/bin/xrotate. There are currently some issues with this method, but it is being worked on. There are future plans to tie this to the accelerometer, but this is not working quite yet.

The screen has autorotate enabled from the update of ICS to v4.1.2, and now automatically rotates if you activate the option.
