I have tried many combinations. Using only the input transformation matrix with swapping and inversion turned off when the coordinate transformation has the form
0 -1 1 x y 0 0 0 1 where x+y = 1 and x is bigger than about .2 the following unstable behavior exists: when a horizontal or vertical drag is performed the cursor jumps wildly - it appears to jump between what it should be according to the coordinate transformation and what it would be if x=0 and y=1 (that is if the second line of the matrix was the identity). With a diagonal drag or a touch the cursor appears where it should be. So for example with the correct rotation 0 -1 1 1 0 0 0 0 1 the cursor appears under your finger to the touch or a diagonal drag, but with a vertical or horizontal drag it jumps wildly alternating between where it should be (under your finger) and somewhere else, which appears to be the untransformed input. As if for some reason the evdev driver only applies the transformation at alternate points during a vertical or horizontal drag. It's pretty odd behavior.
