There is an xrotate script which can be run from the command line which will rotate both display and input.
In X, display rotation is done using RANDR, but input is done via XINPUT. The xrotate script does both. A Gnome bug relating to this is https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=624880. ** Summary changed: - Rotating screen does not rotate touch input + Rotating screen using gnome-settings does not rotate touch input ** Bug watch added: GNOME Bug Tracker #624880 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=624880 ** Changed in: ubuntu-nexus7 Assignee: Bryce Harrington (bryce) => (unassigned) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1072920 Title: Rotating screen using gnome-settings does not rotate touch input Status in Ubuntu on the Nexus 7: Confirmed Status in “xorg” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Using the system settings -> Displays dialog to rotate the screen via the rotation dropdown correctly adjusts the display roatation, but the touch input location is not translated as well. For example, if you set the rotation from the default Clockwise rotation to Counterclockwise and apply it, if you touch in the lower right corner of the now flipped 180 degrees display, the dash will be brought up, and touching near the date-time widget will bring up the trash folder.
