I have Xubuntu installed on it (Fedora threw a temper-tantrum because of the limited RAM)
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.
