Auto rotate the desktop (for tablets)

I was curious how to enable auto rotation for my tablet. I have installed https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/hadess/iio-sensor-proxy/ and it worked with Gnome but in XFCE I do not see an option anywhere for enabling the auto rotate. I do not know if this is even supported in XFCE so I thought to ask here.

See: https://gitlab.xfce.org/xfce/xfce4-settings/-/issues/82. An initial patch was supplied.

Re: Auto rotate the desktop (for tablets)

Thanks! I see this was patched 5 years ago and the last comment doesn't seem encouraging .
