If we view the xsetwacom function in a user's perspective, it is doing the right thing. Users have no knowledge of what the driver is doing. But they know they have rotated the display clockwise and the cursor does not follow their tool tip any more. So, they want the tablet work clockwise (not counterclockwise) as well. Right or wrong, really depends on who is going to use it. > . man/wacom.man | 10 +++++----- > man/xsetwacom.man | 10 +++++----- > 2 files changed, 10 insertions(+), 10 deletions(-) > > diff --git a/man/wacom.man b/man/wacom.man > index 85cfa1f..ef24808 100644 > --- a/man/wacom.man > +++ b/man/wacom.man > @@ -164,11 +164,11 @@ system cursor moves when user touches the tablet. > Default to "on" for > Tablet PCs with touch feature; "off" for all other models. > .TP 4 > .B Option \fI"Rotate"\fP \fI"CW"|"CCW"|"HALF"|"NONE"\fP > -rotates the tablet orientation counterclockwise (CCW) or clockwise (CW) or > 180 degrees (HALF). > Sorry for using "tablet" instead of the right term. > -If you have specific tablet mappings, i.e. TopX/Y or BottomX/Y were set, > the mapping will be > -applied before rotation.
