          @johnnyboy yes, just confirming the filename, you can change it if u need to… you can edit a NEW file and have NO name specified in advance…

            So how do i proceed? If I click ^cancel, i go back to my entry… then as soon as i click ^o to save, it goes to thst part that says file name…
            I cannot save and exit past there.

            I cannot hit ^x to exit as it wont work there… as if i need to select an option from the boxes below… I can only select ^c to cancel and go back.

                Ok… but I just re-booted… then back into terminal… back into boot config.txt… and there is display_rotate=1 right at very top of the config.txt window in terminal…
                I also looked into File Manager - Boot - and see there is another 2 x saved copys of config.txt docs…

                So it seems it did save, but not executed to portrait on re-boot?

                  @johnnyboy ok, I can’t help with that. I searched for instructions and passed them along… I don’t have any portrait on pi… I do on ubuntu, but they have a UI that does it live… click, push a button

                    display_rotate=1

                    Isn’t display_rotate=1 landscape? Wouldn’t portrait be display_rotate=0?

                    scratching my head
