What bits of the kernel did you work on already?  Just asking in case we
have a hole in an area you are already familiar with.

| Sorry, William, but this isn't a kernel problem. This is most likely a

This used to work OK too, I don't think we broke it in kernel side.
Like Sean says the touchscreen driver itself has no idea what the
graphical side is doing about rotation, it continues to report the same
either way and the userspace end has responsibility to mess with it.
