[Bug 93788] Re: screen resolution: changes are not retained

[Andrew Frank]

when rotating the screen on a tablet computer, it is important to rotate 
the wacom stylus coordinates with it.
 
the commands are (as a bashfile) for example

#!/bin/bash

# Tablet PC Mode Script tabletpcmode.sh
# Made for the Toshiba Sattelite R15-S822
# Running Ubuntu Edgy Eft 6.10
#
# Last Updated: 11-18-2006
# Maintained by Justin "Linuturk" Phelps
# linuturk at gmail.com
#
# Move this script to /usr/local/bin
# Run 'sudo chmod +x tabletpcmode.sh'
# Be sure laptopmode.sh is installed as well

xrandr -o right && xsetwacom set stylus Rotate CW
exit 0

--
and corresponding for left -- CCW
                                        normal - none

it would be extremely helpful the screen resolution selection would 
include the rotation for the stylus. could this be done?

thank you
andrew
