I have tried many combinations. Using only the input transformation
matrix with swapping and inversion turned off when the coordinate
transformation has the form
0 -1 1 x y 0 0 0 1
where x+y = 1 and x is bigger than about .2 the following unstable
behavior exists:
when a horizontal or vertical drag is performed the cursor jumps wildly
- it appears to jump between what it should be according to the
coordinate transformation and what it would be if x=0 and y=1 (that is
if the second line of the matrix was the identity). With a diagonal drag
or a touch the cursor appears where it should be. So for example with
the correct rotation 0 -1 1 1 0 0 0 0 1 the cursor appears under your
finger to the touch or a diagonal drag, but with a vertical or
horizontal drag it jumps wildly alternating between where it should be
(under your finger) and somewhere else, which appears to be the
untransformed input. As if for some reason the evdev driver only applies
the transformation at alternate points during a vertical or horizontal
drag.
It's pretty odd behavior.
Here is some configuration information:
