   Hi.

   Concerning the problem of using a touchpad when the screen is rotated 
discussed here

http://lists.x.org/archives/xorg-devel/2011-March/020479.html

and here

I wrote a small utility which is able to monitor the RandR events and 
dynamically rotate the axes of an input device to correspond the screen 
rotation:

Tested on the Pegatron Lucid tablet PC. Please, test it on other 
touchscreen/touchpad hardware where possible.


     TIA,

       Paul.
