Rotating Display again..

[BKeyport]

@n6ng are you using bullseye?

cat /etc/os-release

PRETTY_NAME="Raspbian GNU/Linux 11 (bullseye)"
NAME="Raspbian GNU/Linux"
VERSION_ID="11"
VERSION="11 (bullseye)"
VERSION_CODENAME=bullseye
ID=raspbian
ID_LIKE=debian
HOME_URL="http://www.raspbian.org/"
SUPPORT_URL="http://www.raspbian.org/RaspbianForums"
BUG_REPORT_URL="http://www.raspbian.org/RaspbianBugs"

If so, there appears to be a bug with legacy rotation. sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade and try again.

They’ve done all sorts of major switching around with the new OS.

@bkeyport I am running bullseye and I did the update and upgrade as suggested and a reboot but it didn’t change the rotation… I did the display_rotate=right and them rebooted… Still horizontal display after being rebooted…
Thanks for the suggestion though … at least I know I’m up to date…

@n6ng

I do believe the command is still numeric.

[N6NG]

@bkeyport Well I tried both ways display_rotate=right and display_rotate=1. Neither caused the screen to rotate… that’s what makes me think I’m missing something else… Don’t have the foggiest idea what it might be…

@n6ng Last ditch for Bullseye:

try each one of these.

display_hdmi_rotate=1
xrandr -output HDMI-1 -rotate right
lcd_rotate=1

If it don’t work, downloading stretch and starting over might be the only option.

@bkeyport not stretch… buster

[BKeyport]

@sdetweil Right. Buster. My mind is a version behind. 🤣

[N6NG]

@bkeyport Yes… I reloaded Buster and it works just fine… thanks all for the help… I was going to try Jessie but couldn’t get it downloaded. The download kept failing right at the end of the download… So then I tried Buster. You guys are a godsend when we have problems… The question is who do the experts go to when the experts have problems they can’t figure out?? Hope you all have your experts you can rely on or maybe you don’t have problems you can’t figure out… All have a Merry Christmas and a great 2022…
