well the thing is this - if you get your hands on the laptop and
physically turn it 90° then the touchpad also turns 90°, while the
external mouse stays in the same orientation. i think when you rotate
the monitor it just treats it as a 768x1366 desktop instead of a
1366x768 desktop (1366x768 is the resolution of this monitor), and then
pushing the mouse forward goes up the rotated desktop. sliding up on the
touchpad would also correctly go up on the rotated desktop except
ubuntu/xorg considers this from the perspective of a unrotated touchpad.
the probably is occuring not because the monitor or desktop has rotated-
the problem is occuring because the TOUCHPAD has rotated.
