Comment(by erikos):

 Replying to [comment:52 pgf]:
 > i've released olpc-kbdshim-15 which fixed d-pad rotation (#10380),
 ignores repeats of the rotate button (i.e. one rotation per press), and
 incorporates martin's patch to olpc-rotate to honor the /var/run/olpc-
 rotate-reverse flag file, if present (which indicates xrandr goes
 backwards).
 >
 > i've done nothing with martin's other patch, to olpc-configure, olpc-
 session, and xorg.conf since i don't yet see consensus on moving forward.
 btw, i agree with dsd, above, that fixing SWRandR would be preferable to
 working around it.  is that possible?

 If someone wants to test it, Paul keeps his rpms in his public home.
