Have a a look at the 'configuration bits' that the
touchpad reports to the driver. These indicate the
type and *position* of the touchpad. You can safely
deduct from those if the transformation applies or
not.

btw. Has anybody come accross a 90deg mounted pad?

Hi !

I've got similar problem on my presario 2118, and downloading the
lastest driver from
http://w1.894.telia.com/~u89404340/touchpad/index.html solved it.

Linux-2.6.0-test6: synaptics upside down?

[Peter Chubb]

Hi folks,
   On the latest 2.6.0-test6 kernel, the synaptics touchpad on my
Clevo is upside down -- moving my finger up moves the pointer down,
et vice versa.

This patch fixed the problem for me, but is probably not the right
fix.
