So, after all h2200 has 320x240 physical screen orientation, portrait,
rotated comparing to the normal device orientation? Because if not, this is
a workaround for h2200-adhoc rotation done elsewhere already. If tests were
performed with fresh OE.dev build, then at least the extra rotation not in
qte.

So, I suggest to try to look for where h2200 may be handled specially, and
if found, fix it there. If not, this would be a good workaround for 1.2.3,
but needs comments added that it is such, so we can fix it later. (And all
this assumes that screen is 240x320; if it's 320x240, then all is ok).

Yes, this was a build from org.openembedded.dev tree updated yesterday. I
can't tell you what the actual device orientation of the screen is
internally - physically the display is just like every other iPAQ.

I can only guess that if 270 degrees is not the correct rotation for this
device then the wrong keycodes are being sent.

Well, how can I explain... ;-) Initial kernel boot message scroll
vertically or horizontally? Your patch puts h2200 in the same category as
h3900, which is clearly a 320x240 rotated screen. Can you build image or
kernel for it and try to boot and compare the behavior?

Ah, that I can tell you. The boot messages scroll vertically.

Added new patch with comment as requested.

Patch committed to CVS. I'll leave this bug open for now until we get a
proper resolution.

Erm, oops. The previous patch altered the default rotation for h2200 which
is bad. It was so obvious, I should have realised it would do that :(

Anyway, despite being right up to the wire I made the decision to fix this
in CVS for 1.2.3 with a much less drastic workaround -
h2200_button_rotation_v3.patch attached for reference.

Hmm, it seems that h3900 has the same issue. Zaurus akita & spitz do as
well, so there's something really weird going on here. Something must have
changed somewhere fairly fundamental.
