Comment:

 1. Apparently the hardware accelerated XO-1.5 rotation driver has a
 "feature" in os352 where if the laptop is woken up from CPU idle sleep,
 the display flips to the normal orientation without resetting the
 resolution used, resulting in an unusable screen.  {Similar behavior can
 be seen if the "Virtual 1200 900" line is forgotten in xorg.conf and you
 try to rotate the screen sideways.}

  2. The line of code needed to reset the touchpad and d-pad to normal
 orientation when X windows is restarted (via Ctrl-Alt-Bksp or similar) is
 missing from the 10.1.3 os352 build, and needs to be added to git/built in
 the RPM/etc.  (The XO 1.0 has a similar problem, so such code may not be
 to be special cased.)
