    I need to rotate my screen from landscape to a portrait display. Basically rotate the current display 90 degrees clockwise. I am displaying the Pi through a TV but have rotated the TV so the long side is going straight up and down instead of left to right. I have tried this by clicking the raspberry button in the top left corner and Preferences > Screen Configuration > Right-click HDMI-2 > Orientation > Left > Green check mark , but after confirming the changes, nothing happens. Any help would be appreciated, thank you

            @brendan_c23 pi doesnt know. pi4 has hdmi1, left port , and hdmi2, right port.

            no relation to tv source

            my tv has 4 ports
            i have pi 0, pi 3, pi4, and jetson nano on tv sources

            all pis think they are using hardware port hdmi1

                  @sdetweil HDMI-2 is the only option that comes up in the Screen layout editor. I just checked and I have the hdmi cord plugged into the main micro hdmi port on the pi and HDMI 1 port on TV.
