Fedora did? or a full Gnome desktop did?

Did you try the LXDE Fedora spin? Or standard Ubuntu?

I hope you aren't comparing a complete distribution with the "light
edition" of another.

No idea though on the tablety stuff.  xrandr is the program that does
dynamic x11 reshaping and redefining inputs and such.  Make sure it's
installed, and its module is loaded by x11.  Then read a bit on all
the command line options  to xrandr, and play with it a little.

If when you physically rotate the screen around on its pivot, the x11
screen rotates 90 degrees, then look for a hal or udev or .fdi file
that defines that behavior, and add to it the corresponding behavior
for rotating the tablet input.
