Comment:

 i like it.  unfortunately, the screen rotates the wrong way.  or, at
 lease, opposite to the direction that F11 rotates on XO-1, and opposite to
 the direction that ubuntu jaunty rotates on my eee box pc.   on those
 machines, "xrand -o left" rotates the screen counter-clockwise.  with
 SWRandR on XO-1.5, it rotates clockwise.  this wouldn't matter, except
 that the touchpad rotation (controlled by /usr/bin/olpc-rotate) goes the
 other way.  (note that early XO-1 releases also rotated clockwise with "-o
 left" -- but that changed later.)

 is there a way to control the rotation direction for SWRandR?
