Hello,

There is currently a work being tracked in a bug report [1] to allow
rotation (and axis inversion/swapping) of any pointer device. Actually
it's a bit my fault it's not yet in the server, because I promised to
test it, and never found the time. I'll try soon Peter!

Maybe Qfeng Chen you could try the two patches associated to the bug
report, and let us know if it works for you?

See you,
Eric
