What about screen rotation? Under Intrepeid, at least early on, it was lousy. The mouse and touch screen axes didn't properly update with the rotated screen, so pointer movement was WAY off. Have you tried screen rotation with Jaunty, on the Q1U? I think it'd be nice to do Google Reader in portrait mode, for example :-) -- Ubuntu-mobile mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-mobile
