Hi,
I have been using a Ibm X41 tablet pc since a couple of days.
I installed Xorg without the xorg.conf file. To get the wacom tablet to work, i just installed the package linuxwacom, rebooted and the stylus was working perfectly.
now im trying to have screen rotation feature to work correctly. i can rotate the display using xrandr -o without a problem, except the coordinates of the mouse/stylus pointer dont get rotated accordingly.
In the wiki article concerning tablet pc , http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Tablet_PC
There is a script provided that uses commands like :
xsetwacom set "stylus" Rotate 1
xsetwacom set "cursor" Rotate 1
to rotate the coordinate of the pointers. when i run those commands on my pc, i get errors like this :
Error (2): WacomConfigOpenDevice: No such device
Set: Failed to open device 'stylus'
this make sens since i did not define a "stylus" device in my xorg.conf file because i dont have a xorg.conf file.
Is it possible to rotate my pointer coordinate without a xorg.conf file ?

you need to substitute yout devices "stylus" and "cursor" with the devices you get with:
for udi in `hal-find-by-property --key input.x11_driver --string wacom`; do
echo "`hal-get-property --udi $udi --key info.product`"
done
possible you'll get only one device.
