In current up to date Ubuntu 9.04 Netbook Remix the situation is as
follows:

For touch screen:
- after default installation, touchscreen works with evdev, but calibration is 
off, calibation tool cannot be run, and after screen rotation calibration is 
even worse and mouse cursor moves at 90 degree offset to finger motion
- after creating HAL fdi file, using evtouch driver, calibration tool can be 
run successfully, and rotation work perfectly
-> for touch screen this issue is fixed,if indeed using the evtouch driver is 
appropriate. I got the impression that touch screen support is intended to be 
moved to evdev driver.

However I am getting very severe instability using evtouch, with
complete lockups and hard reboots. Still investigating this, and will
file a separate bug report on that one after collecting some facts.

For stick mouse:
- works by default, I guess using evdev
- after rotation (both screen and computer, so that what was the computer 
bottom becomes its left edge), pushing stick mouse up (what is normally the 
left edge of the computer, when not rotated) moves mouse cursor left, which is 
of course wrong because the computer is rotated. In other words, rotation has 
no effect on stick mouse, but an effect is very much desired.
-> for stick mouse this issue is still open

Is it possible to make an fdi file for the stick mouse, which would
allow rotating the stick when the screen is rotated?

Evtouch and stick mouse should also be rotated when changing screen rotation
