It’s not a false-positive unfortunately. I had to completely clean my system from a virus after using EeeRotate, and I can’t see what else could have infected it. SakasaMouse should be safe, however.

Clamwin just detected EeeRotate as a virus???
C:Program FilesEeeRotateEeeRotate.exe Trojan.Mybot-10773 FOUND
is this a false positive?

I’ve just installed it on my Samsung NC10 running Windows Vista and it works just great.

This has been covered for the better part of a year; from reports on the EeeUser forums, it looks like EeeRotate has some issues on current hardware. However, as was pointed out the graphics drivers have this function natively, so the only real issue is trackpad rotation – which is actually provided by SakasaMouse behind the scenes.

There’s some good discussion here:

Personally, I use this for reading “scanlations” of Japanese manga. It ends up being about the same size on-screen as the books, and no scrolling!

Intel graphics drivers have long been able to rotate displays so I’m not sure what this adds other than the trackpad rotation. I sure can’t imagine why I’d want to do this. Not even “because I can”. :)
