wl-kbptr Rotated monitor problem

My monitor is flipped horizontal. This wasn't problem before for bisect mode. After update (0.4.0), when I click somewhere it will click symmetrical to horizontal and also vertical. I'm assuming this is problem because of my rotated monitor. I use arch linux, hyprland

Indeed, this is an issue introduced with ef719e98a47fbb94b64fc47134e7423414a63e09 (see #41).

I've just tried the latest release of wl-kbptr with a rotated output (90) on Sway, niri, dwl, labwc and Hyprland and it works with each of them except Hyprland. The issue is that it doesn't handle output transformation the same way as the other one in the wlr-virtual-pointer-unstable-v1 protocol.

Given that they all handle output transformations the same with the exception of Hyprland, I think it would be reasonable to submit this issue to them.

I see, thanks. I think this can be worked around fairly easily by checking the XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP environment variable and skipping rotation handling when it's set to "Hyprland". I’ve opened a pull request with this approach, in case you'd like to consider it.
