Sorry, but why does it work on example Ubuntu but not MX?
I tried sudo iio-sensor-proxy and it returns empty
Ubuntu is more "cutting edge" than MX.
After all, the Yoga 370 was only introduced in 2017, it will take a while for Debian to catch up.

Sorry for the late reply but our problems with the forum interfered. The Yoga 370 works fine as a straight laptop. However using it singularly as a tablet is what's lagging.

iio-sensor-proxy is a package in the Debian repos, but probably not a default package in MX Linux.
Try installing it and see if it works.

Just to satisfy my curiosity, what specifically is it that's stopping the tablet support working? Does it need additional drivers? Or a later Xorg? Or is it just a matter of configuration?
I'm curious, because I have a Yoga 720 of about the same (2017) vintage, and it doesn't do tablet stuff with MX either. It definitely did with Fedora back in 2017, although I had to fiddle about with the X configuration.
It's not a big deal, because I didn't use the tablet mode much, anyway. I don't know if it ever worked with Ubuntu, because I never even tried it. Just wondering.
BR, Lars.

I got tablet mode to work on my Yoga X1 using
a script, so maybe
these scripts for the Yoga 380 will help you with your 370.

Hi,
I don't know if you're still struggling with this. I had to add the line "/sbin/iio-sensor-proxy &" to /etc/rc.local so that it would run at startup - and like that, monitor-sensor now works and my auto-rotate / tablet mode script works as it worked under debian.
