In current up to date Kubuntu 8.10 KDE 4.1 the behavior is as follows: 1) Choose Rotate left (90 degrees) from randr tray icon 2) rotate physical device (including stick) to match screen rotation (see picture rotated; stick is at lower right corner of the image) 3) now pressing up (=towards the display) on the stick, moves the mouse cursor left (i.e. its un-rotated direction)
This behavior is wrong, because the direction of physical motion (applying pressure to the stick) is at 90 degrees angle to the motion of the mouse cursor. When using an external screen, which is rotated independently of the computer, I would agree that the correct behavior would be not to translate stick mouse coordinates. This is not the case here. A setting should be available to choose between the two separate behaviors. I think most definitely both modes of operation should be supported, although personally I think rotating the whole device is more common than only rotating the display. There are more and more tablet style devices out there. -- Evtouch and stick mouse should also be rotated when changing screen rotation https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/212753 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
