Perhaps if more people voted +1 for the xrandr kernel mod in the Canola thread, it might get incorporated into a future kernel update.
Remapping the d-pad is trivial with xmodmap. And for leftie mode, you don't even need to worry about resolution/aspect ratio dependence in software.

I am one of those few unfortunates who are strongly left-sided. That means, while my right hand is not a "useless appendage," I strongly prefer my left hand, left foot, even my left ear and left eye. Most lefties I meet are only weakly left-sided. I'm cursed with the most serious form of the affliction.
