I'm not as familiar with Ubuntu, but it sounds like the hardware has some
sort of orientation sensing function and X probably samples that when it
starts up. I wonder what would happen if you press Ctrl-Alt-Bksp. Usually
that kills the X server, which typically will automatically restart right
away, and should sense the correct orientation. I'm sure there's a setting
for it, too, but it would take some digging for me to find.  Any others out
there that have an idea?
