Reverse pointer axes?

[Ken D'Ambrosio]

Hey, all.  I've got a daughter in college -- she's up in Burlington, VT. 
I've also got a daughter who's not yet in kindergarten.  Needless to say,
a three-hour car trip with a young 'un can be fairly long (and then back
again).  Our minivan ha(s|d) a DVD player -- but it's b0rken.  (Probably
an alignment issue, methinks.)  Anyway, I'm seriously contemplating taking
a $250 netbook and mounting it upside-down.  Ubuntu has an "upside-down"
option for its video, so that's no problem.  But not so much the trackpad.
 Does anyone know of a way to invert the axes for a pointing device?  I've
Googled a fair bit, but the only thing I found even kinda-sorta close was
ways to modify one specific track pad driver/kernel module to rotate one
axis.  If there's a generic X-windows mechanism, that would certainly be
far more handy.

Thanks!

-Ken
