It was a design decision (at least initially) to not rotate the Game
Buttons, as users might associate their symbols (square, circle, etc.)
to mean certain things. If there is a compelling reason to do this
perhaps it should be revisited.
I admit that this does not work well for all activities. Another
activity which gets confused by this is Maze, which can use the
directional pad and game buttons to add additional players on each XO
using/sharing the activity.

Thanks for the information!
I've tested the build 351. I realize that the "Directional Pad" change
the Behaviour when the screen rotate. Great!
However, in the Read Activity the "Directional Pad" is useful for go
forward line per line, but if you want to change the page you have to
use the "Game Buttons". So, for Read Activity will be useful adapt the
"Game Buttons" too. What do you think?

We want to read books using the rotate screen capability of
XO. We have a
small problem, if we open a book (pdf, epub) and we rotate
the screen, the
game pad buttons have the same use that the screen in a normal
position, I
mean that user have to click in the "left game pad" button
(the down button
in horizontal position) to go to the next page.
I think that all the game pad buttons have to be adapted
according the
screen position. We want to know how can we catch the rotate
screen event,
and be sure that this change in "Read" behaviour activity has
sense.

Hi Daniel,
this has been fixed in the recent OLPC builds [1]. The ticket is
