What is portrait and landscape, then... Is portrait looking at the
screen with the longest side vertical ? ... if so, there's a bug
here... but maybe in the way the X server / xrandr reports the
coordinates too : more details in my comment at :

Depending on what you consider portrait (see above)... well I usually
install, boot, and calibrate with the akita's keyboard accessible, so
in what I would call a landscape view... 

I assume as akita and spitz are basically similar in matters or
screen's dimensions and orientation, well we would be in similar
conditions...

Am I wrong in what I'm calling landscape (looks like a laptop,
keyboard accessible) and portrait (screen rotated and shut so the
keyboard is hidden) ?
