Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-control-center

PC is a Toshiba Portege M400 tablet. gnome-display-properties can rotate the screen so I can twist the screen round, but the tablet doesn't get rotated. So using the pen I go up, and the mouse cursor goes left, i go down with the pen, the mouse goes right, making it useless as a tablet.

Thank you for your bug report, does the tablet get rotated if you use the command line xrand tools rather than the capplet interface?
