How to switch orientations of a bamboo tablet?

Question

I have a Bamboo Pen Tablet and I use Ubuntu 11.04, and I just want to ask, how can I switch my tablet orientations.

Answer 1

xrandr will only change the orientation of the screen, and not always the orientation of the tablet. For that you need to use xsetwacom:

xsetwacom stylus rotate ccw
xsetwacom eraser rotate cw
etc...

Se the man page for full details: man xsetwacom, if you want the changes to be perminant then add the commands to a new file in your home directory called .xinitrc and now your settings will load on reboot.
