# screen and input device rotation for e.g. a Thinkpad X1 Yoga | |
# adopted from by the script from http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=996830&p=6274392#post6274392 | |
# | |
# Usage: | |
# ./rotate.sh | |
# will rotate both the screen and input device either to right or normal setting depending on previous state. Additionally: | |
# * in "right" layout, a on screen keyboard (onboard) is started or stopped in normal mode | |
# * the touchpad is switched off in "right" mode | |
# | |
# I've bound this script to a shortcut key for easily flipping back and forth settins | |

eraser=`xsetwacom --list devices | grep " eraser" | cut -f 1` | |
touch=`xsetwacom --list devices | grep " touch" | cut -f 1` | |
# Find the line in "xrandr -q --verbose" output that contains current screen orientation and "strip" out current orientation. | |
rotation="$(xrandr -q --verbose | grep 'connected' | egrep -o '\) (normal|left|inverted|right) \(' | egrep -o '(normal|left|inverted|right)')" | |
# Using current screen orientation proceed to rotate screen and input tools. | |

Thank you :-). The touchpad had also 13 on my system and 12 is the physical keyboard.
xinput set-prop 13 "Device Enabled" 0 # touchpad off
xinput set-prop 12 "Device Enabled" 0 # touchpad off
My laptop is Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Yoga 20FQ-002U.
