Did you blow away and re-purpose the as-built "recovery" partition?
Does all of the Lenovo boot stuff continue to work after the Linux install?

However, when the screen is rotated, the pen input seems to be rotated as well (and as I said the finger input is not right). I have hopes that these have already been resolved but haven't tried yet.
Karl Hegbloom has a PPA with a package tablet-screen-rotation-support that is worth the effort.
The bezel orientation button does not throw an ACPI event -- based on 'acpi-listen' output -- I've heard it needs to be enabled but have not learned how.

The Hegbloom package sorts much of this out.
