Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: x11-xserver-utils

This request is strongly related to http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/20789/ -- "Allow touchpad to match rotated screen on netbook"; the same issues apply to IBM ThinkPad laptops which use the built in mouse (pick your term for it from 
http://xkcd.com/243/ ). My specific use-case, BTW, is bed-side reading: the laptop is upright, but I wish to lie down beside it.

I'm not sure about the "bug etiquette" here -- the issue, essentially, has been raised as an idea, but 
- The idea specifically denies handling the mouse, claiming axes can be swapped;
- At least in Kubuntu, there is no GUI for swapping the mouse (that I could find)
- hence, I think the current behavior (where a rotated screen makes the mouse unusable) is a bug.

I apologize in advance if I am in the wrong here.
