[Solved] Is there a way to rotate 90° the touchpad orientation?

yes, I'm trying to rotate my screen 90° so that I can hold my laptop as if it was a book.
That's why I want to rotate the orientation of the touchpad as well. I thought there would be an easy to do it with synaptics, but nope.

You could probably do that with the "Coordinate Transformation Matrix" property, you can see and change that property with xinput. I suspect that property requires an homogeneous coordinates transformation matrix, see [1]. I'll leave the confirmation of that as homework

You were right. I found a script that does exactly that.
