frustratingly I have an extra problem - when I write with the device flat on the surface, I now sometimes write in portrait orientation - but because the device is flat I cannot use technology to store/retrieve the direction.

It will have to wait until I get HWR working to tell me which orientation the letters themselves have been written in and rotate sketches accordingly.
For an at least marginally usable HWR engine for linux, you might take a peak at http://risujin.org/cellwriter/.

It's no Rosetta or ParaGraph, but it appears to work. Moreover, it's one of that rarest of breeds: an open source HWR engine...
