Christopher: what don't you understand about this bug not being hardware
specific? This is a wishlist item, because the code needed to solve this
(automatic rotation of touchpad when laptop is rotated in the physical
world) is just not present in xorg? Nobody in Ubuntu is going to solve
this, this is an upstream bug and upstream is not keen to implement this
as far as I know so I guess it will go unfixed until xorg is obsolete,
but why don't we just set it to confirmed, set importance to wishlist
and let it be?

** Changed in: xserver-xorg-input-synaptics (Ubuntu)

Title:
  touchpad rotation when monitor rotated

Status in “xserver-xorg-input-synaptics” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  when the monitor is rotated to a portrait orientation using gnome-
  display-properties (changing the rotation dropdown), and then i
  physically rotate my laptop, any connected usb mice then move
  correctly across the portrait screen- there are no issues with
  rotation for external mice. however, ubuntu (maverick at least) does
  not account for the fact that if you physically rotate your monitor,
  then you're obviously going to need to physically rotate a laptop's
  touchpad as well and thus the internal touchpad does not properly work
  when the laptop's monitor is in a portrait mode- up on the rotated
  touchpad = left, etc

  not sure of what package the bug is in - probably x.org
