Hi Bryce, nice to see you again.

Today I have my tablet working, and rotated, see the last comment(It works!!)
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-release-notes/+bug/282203

As you can see, from:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/280798

I wanted to rotate the screen using gnome-display-properties,it only
letting me two options, but then I changed the xorg.conf to add the
rotate option:

Section "Device"
  Identifier  "Configured Video Device"
  Driver  "nvidia"
  Option  "NoLogo"  "True"
  Option  "Rotate" "CCW"
EndSection

So now the screen works too, X starts rotated, but rotate option is not
compatible with XRAND:

>From Xorg.0.log:
(II) NVIDIA(0):The RandR extension is not compatible with the Rotate option
(II) NVIDIA(0): Disabling RandR.

The problem is that it works very well, but is not suitable for average
Joe. This means Joe not being capable of using the screen and tablet
rotated easily(graphic artists). The aspect ratio of the first graphic
computers were the same as an A4 document, but thanks to Steve Wozniak
use of a inexpensive mass produced TV as monitor we have aspect ratios
of a TV, good for movies, bad bad for documents.

My xorg.conf(I commented the xrand line, because it will make x to not start):
Section "Monitor"
  Identifier  "Configured Monitor"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
  Identifier  "Default Screen"
  Monitor   "Configured Monitor"
  Device    "Configured Video Device"
######### Option    "RandRRotation"
  DefaultDepth  24
EndSection

Section "Module"
  Load  "glx"
  Disable "dri2"
EndSection

Section "Device"
  Identifier  "Configured Video Device"
  Driver  "nvidia"
  Option  "NoLogo"  "True"
  Option  "Rotate" "CCW"
EndSection
