What do you not understand about this being a feature request and not a
hardware-specific bug?

Title:
  touchpad rotation when monitor rotated

Status in xserver-xorg-input-synaptics package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

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
