Description
When using the following image on GTA01 (and kernel within)
http://shr.bearstech.com/shr-unstable/images/om-gta01/shr-lite-eglibc-ipk--20100226-om-gta01.rootfs.tar.gz
The touch screen orientation is rotated 90 degrees.
This makes answering the first-boot questions very hard and the phone impossible to use.
The problem can be mostly corrected by logging into the phone over ssh running xinput_calibrator and intentionally miscalibrating the touch screen to correct this rotation.
This is tricky because there are no + symbols to click on as they are designed to be clicked in the correct order and you need to click them in the wrong order.
It is also impossible to get it accurate for the same reason.
(I had this same issue in the last GTA01 image I tried which I believe was the 9th Feb image. It's likely all gta01 images have this bug)
To reproduce this bug simply use the above image on any GTA01. The bug will appear from the very first boot onwards.
4848b502027d5ec89b9f411e5580e85382eed43a (openembedded commit) should fix it.
