I also had this bug, it is fixed upstream in xf86-input-evdev in commit bb9b4146cb828bd366675e8736fc145e92c9269a
Until this is fixed in the repositories I've rebuilt the package as described here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpdatingADeb, using the patch from here: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-input- evdev/diff/?id=bb9b4146cb828bd366675e8736fc145e92c9269a This fixes the swapaxes being ignored on my system. The invertX and invertY still seem to be ignored, but this can be worked around by changing the calibration from "0 1024 0 1024" to "1024 0 1024 0" -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-input-evdev in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1103723 Title: the evdev driver of Xorg ignore the swap axes optiopn for N-trig multitouch Status in “xserver-xorg-input-evdev” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I have just received my dell xt3 I use kubuntu 12.04.1 fully update, with kde from the ppa backport repository.
