title: How to deal with apps that force screen orientation in android-x86 on VirtualBox?
body: <p>If you've used an Android device, you're aware that there are some apps that force the display to portrait and ignore the device's orientation sensor. On a real device, this is not a problem, as you can physically rotate the device in your hands to use the app.</p>
  
  <p>However, I am trying to use such an app on android-x86 in Oracle's VirtualBox on a Linux Mint PC, and cannot physically rotate my monitor. I have tried the f9-f12 keys that send a rotation event to the app, but since the orientation is fixed, this has no effect.</p>
  
  <p>Short of keeping my neck cricked at a 90° angle, how might I configure android-x86, VirtualBox, and/or Linux to display the app right side up? To be clear, I don't have access to the source code of the app.</p>
