This problem persists in Saucy. But I made the following observations: - after update form raring to saucy, the problem did not manifest itself at first, screen started up with correct rotation. - I started using the `onboard` virtual keyboard -- still no problem - Finally, I checked the option "automatically display upon text input". Onboard informed me that for this option, "GNOME assistive techology" needed to be activated. I confirmed to use it. --> When I logged in next time, the problem was back (screen starts rotated 90 degrees, input device not rotated). The problem now appear every time I log in.
The problem could hence be related to the "GNOME assistive technology" package. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1174830 Title: Display starts up with wrong screen orientation on thinkpad X230 tablet Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I'm quite lost as to with package I should report this issue. I report it against gnome-control-center because this is where screen settings are made. Please help and direct this report to the right place. Thank you. On a Lenovo thinkpad X230 tablet, one of the bezel buttons is bound to rotating the screen in steps of 90°. This is an improvement in raring compared to quantal, because in quantal, this button did not work at all. However, when I rotate the screen using this bezel button, shut down and reboot, the display starts up rotated 90° to the right, compared with what it was on shutdown. This is not a serious problem, but very inconvenient. It startles you quite a bit booting your computer and seeing the login screen rotated to the right. (Even the more as the touch display orientation is not changed in the same way, but that's another bug.) This problem does not appear, when the screen orientation is changed via the "Display" dialog from the control center. Just when using the bezel button.
