MM boot splash rotation
-
Hi,
I am setting up a new MM from scratch because my current image got pretty buggy over the last years.
I just installed the MM using the automated installation from @sdetweil. With that you can replace the default splash screen with the MM splash picture. It works.
But I would like to have MM splash picture rotated. I tried to modify the magicmirror.script file but it didn’t work out so far. Can anyone explain how to do it?
Thanks!

@andyyy ok, I had to edit the image and rotate it to match
/usr/share/plymouth/themes/MagicMirror/splash.png
need to use sudo with the editor to save it
-
@andyyy can u explain? it should rotate when the screen rotates… (assuming u use the system rotation and not the css rotation)

In the config.txt I did set display_rotate=3 and/or display_hdmi_rotate=3. It shows no effect.
On the desktop I can rotate screen without any issue but the splash stays in the default orientation.

That was my first idea as well. But I was locking for a smarter solution. :)
I discovered a strange conflict in raspian 64x. Before I did always use the 32x variant.
I did some research and testing why the display_hdmi_rotate command in the config.txt apparently didn’t work. It seems there is a conflict with DRM VC4 V3D driver (which is enabled by default). Just un-commenting the line #dtoverlay=vc4-kms-v3d the screen rotates (even the splash picture) as expected. The driver obviously overwrites the display_hdmi_rotate command.
Now the MM and splash have the right orientation. Only the default weather app says loading, but it will be replaced by another module anyhow.
Thanks, andyyy

@andyyy all the modules need ali keys now.
we are steering clear of 64 bit for a while
