After the recent update rotating the screen from the wayland gui no longer also rotates the touch inputs as well. This is probably a bug.
Prior to the update (under wayfire) just rotating the screen to landscape also rotated the touch inputs, but now the screen rotates but the touch does not, which make it hard to click the OK to accept the rotation.
My work around (until they fix this) is to add...
to /boot/firmware/config.txt in order to get the touch to work
properly in landscape mode, and then manually edit ~/.config/wayfire.ini to
rotate the screen appropriately.
Note this is to rotate the screen right to landscape mode. If you rotate in a different direction you may need to change the invx,swapxy settings.
UPDATE..
This is quite strange, I tried again and this time the GUI worked as expected and I had to remove the changes I made to config.txt. Not sure what exactly changed in between. So if the GUI does change the touch coordinates then the changes to config.txt will undo those changes, they are mutually exclusive.
