Description

On my Surface Pro 2, running Linux Mint XFCE, I cannot rotate my screen to portrait mode and still use the pen or touch interface. I had the same issue with Xubuntu as well. The pen/touchscreen remains in landscape.

OS: Linux Mint 19.3 Tricia x86_64 Host: Surface with Windows 8 Pro 1 <--OS misreads as a SP1. They were essentially the same machine, so no real surprise there.
