I'm not sure what exactly the goal of this is. We already detect TabletPCs. I 
don't understand why you need the orientations of the displays (in fact e.g. 
the STYLISTIC ST5xxx displays are not rotatable since they are Slates) in 
HAL, also because orientation for the Tablet mode is something that depends 
on the user preferences. Shouldn't that be something you should configure 
somewhere in a desktop application like krandrtray or grandr?
