Screen tilting support on the thinkpad x200 tablet

I have recently installed trisquel on a x200 tablet that I plan on using to learn how to draw. This model has the ability to rotate the screen vertically via a button on the display. The display rotates sucessfully in mate but the tracking of the pen doesn't follow. Is this an issue of nonfree firmware, x11 vs wayland issue, or something with libreboot?
