You have been subscribed to a public bug:
when the monitor is rotated to a portrait orientation using gnome-
display-properties (changing the rotation dropdown), and then i
physically rotate my laptop, any connected usb mice then move correctly
across the portrait screen- there are no issues with rotation for
external mice. however, ubuntu (maverick at least) does not account for
the fact that if you physically rotate your monitor, then you're
obviously going to need to physically rotate a laptop's touchpad as well
and thus the internal touchpad does not properly work when the laptop's
monitor is in a portrait mode- up on the rotated touchpad = left, etc
not sure of what package the bug is in - probably x.org
