The six places that an axis can be flipped are:
1. By the input driver
2. By the evdev code
3. By the X evdev driver
4. By the xmodmap event mapping
5. By the toolkit
6. By the application itself
I've seen all but 3 and 5 in various situations in practice.
Five is particularly troublesome, since it's on a per-app
basis, leading to inconsistent bug reports. Encourage
people to use GIMP when testing, rather than
Firefox/Iceweasel, as the GIMP seems to consistently get it
right and isn't really subject to toolkit troubles.
Somebody probably needs to write a bunch of code that will
look at layers 2-4 and provide a definitive report of what's
going on. In my copious spare time...
