(In other words - set it to wishlist and confirmed and let it be. Unless somebody from xorg is going to develop this feature, this is not going ot happen. There exists a patch (see here: http://cc.oulu.fi/~rantalai/synaptics/ ) that enables manual (but scriptable) way to rotate touchpad's axis, but upstream developers want something more general that would automatically work for all touchpads, not just synaptics. But this would need more work thay do not seem to be interested in doing it.)
