Thanks. Installing that package seems to change the sensitivity when switching rotation, but does not resolve the landscape orientation problem.

Unfortunately I'm not very familiar with Wayland or mobile linux, but it seems like it should be a quick fix. Is there any possibility that I can tweak a configuration file?

Have you tried the suggestion from the wiki? https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/ASUS_MeMO_Pad_7_(asus-me176c)#Hardware_details_(hwtest)

I'll try to fix this properly soon, but I have quite little time at the moment.
