Fresh install on Trixie - Unable to rotate screen
-
well…disregard. I wiped and reinstalled the OS fresh, and now the option exists in the system control panel for me to adjust the screens.

@alex2. @sdetweil I am facing the same issue. I was running upgraded Bullseye on Pi3 B with an Acer 27 inch monitor. After a chance rpi update, the rotation and resolution 1080x1920 gt messed up. After struggling for four days , i decided to reinstall OS with Bookworm and recovered my MM instance via rebuild. However, i am unable to configure rotation to portrait and regain my 1080x1920 resolution. the /boot/firmware/config.txt and cmdline.txt configuration changes as suggested by Chatgpt isnt helping . Any help will be appreciated. please. Thanks.

@Rags as @alex2 described: Try to use the menu / configuration tool.
Easiest and safest way with connected monitor/mouse/keyboard. If not possible give VNC a try - this could be harder because if screen resolution is not right, menu windows/dialog-boxes are hard to find/use…The menu optiions do all the entries for you and these changes are persitant.
Godd luck,

@rkorell I have tried all changes and variations with config.txt and cmdline.txt, none are working. I am now stuck at a lower resolution screen and no rotation. Any solutions?

@Rags as mentioned, I had to reinstall the OS from scratch. After doing this, I had a new section in the control center on Trixie that allowed me to rotate. No clue why it worked the second time as I used the same imager version to load the OS on the microSD.
