Comment(by thomaswamm):

 Oops, if I want to be thorough, the XO allows potentially many more weird
 configurations to enumerate, including these 3:

  0 degree display rotation & almost in tablet mode -- can finger touchpad
 underneath display, but cursor now moves opposite direction.

  90 degree display rotation portrait view & almost in tablet mode -- can
 finger touchpad underneath display, but cursor now moves inappropriately.

  270 degree display rotation portrait view & almost in tablet mode -- can
 finger touchpad underneath display, but cursor now moves inappropriately.

 The XO cannot detect all its own possible hardware configurations, which
 complicates this ticket.  Certainly some modes are less likely to be
 exploited than others.  I have never fully read the OLPC XO-1 human
 interface guidelines; maybe these issues have already been worked through?
