New method for rotating touch surface

[Jofemodo]

Hi Mark!

I’ve been trying to rotate the touch device as described in documentation:

xinput –set-prop ‘ADS7846 Touchscreen’ ‘Evdev Axis Inversion’ 0 0

But it doesn’t work anymore with recent kernels. As you can read here, there is a new method:

Following this instructions, this command works for me (rotate 180º):

xinput –set-prop ‘ADS7846 Touchscreen’ ‘Coordinate Transformation Matrix’ -1 0 1 0 -1 1 0 0 1

You can find a detailed description of this “Coordinate Transformation Matrix” here:

Please, update the documentation ASAP to avoid other users getting confused with this.

Thanks!
