[Bug 297348] Re: Rotate touchpad to match xrandr

 

Don't know -- you'd have to download the source for 0.15.2 and copy
debian/patches/99_axis.diff and add that filename to
debian/patches/series. Depends on whether there were any significant
changes in the source --- probably'll work.

The original author only tested with 14.6 & 14.7, but it's only a few
lines to add the command line parameter and store that information for
some transpositions.

Bug description:
I reported this as a question -- but it didn't have space for attachments. I'll try to link the question to this.

I've added the patch from http://www.helsinki.fi/~rantalai/synaptics/ that adds rotation to the synaptic touchpad, so it can be properly oriented relative to an xrandr rotation of the screen -- you can read sideways and use the touchpad without trying to apply a rotation matrix to your fingers.

The change is the addition of 99_axis_patch.diff into debian/patches, adding it to debian/patches/series and updating the changelog.
