zoward,
Thanks for reporting the issue. I have no idea what might be wrong.
I hadn't tried taking the device out of the case yet: I always boot it inside. My user password would be painful on a virtual keyboard! But while typing this messsage, I removed the tablet, rotated it all the way around (allowing the screen to catch up in each direction), and then popped it back in the case to finish typing.
It does take a moment for the screen to catch up after each change in orientation: re-scale/trim the background, re-position the widgets.
While in the case, I find the touchpad orientation doesn't change: if I hold the whole contraption sideways (portrait mode with the power button on top), swiping to the right on the touchpad relative to the keyboard (down relative to gravity) still moves to the right (according to the new orientation) on the screen. This is the behavior I would expect/hope for.
I also have the Xsetup/xrandr fix rom chzbacon implemented. When I have a moment, I'm curious to remove it and see if the automatic rotation takes care of the login screen.
