Hi Bennie!
It is really hard to see on this GIF, but if the Driver is the X-Rotation of the Bone, it might be using the Bone’s Local X-Axis and that is pointing in the Worlds negative X, so when you think an X-Rotation is positive, it is actually negative…
But again, I can’t really see much on the GIF, if I try to zoom in, the low resolution hinders me too much (and many information is hidden).
If it is something else, could you please provide a link to your .blend?
