If its an input event it can then surely be dealt with like any other
special key within X or gnome. I presume its the "rotate" button
bottom right hand corner of the screen. I think there's an X button
for rotate on table computers, could it be mapped to that as its
similar functionality and would then also work on tablet computers as
well.
