[olpc-help] how can I redefine the game keys

[Tom Stewart]

Sorry, this doesn't answer your question, but it seems (to me) related.

It seems to me that when in tablet mode, the D-pad keys should follow  
the orientation of the screen. It feels wrong to be reading an ebook,  
and have to press sideways to go up/down. Or worse, if I oriented the  
screen 180 degrees from normal, I'd be pressing down to go up.
