Here’s an update with an even better fix!

While beginning my journey into custom css, I quickly came across another fix to the poor graphics of a vertically rotated screen. In my opinion, this fix is even better than using xrandr because this fix saves a ton on performance, results in a look just as good as using the screen in its native horizontal look, and once you implement it, it will stay implemented.

All you have to do is copy and paste the following to your MagicMirror’s custom css:

body { margin: 0; position: absolute; transform: rotate(90deg); transform-origin: bottom left; width: 100vh; height: 100vw; object-fit: cover; top: -100vw; visibility: visible; }

There you go, just like that you’re set. The custom css of modules may have to be edited as well to make it work but that’s a small price to pay for a much better finished product.

Credit where credit is due, I found this fix right here on the forum!

Thanx i have set and now work normaly.

Hi, This might be a more general question about X windows and monitor resolution in Linux, but it’s related to my magic mirror so hopefully someone else has encountered and solved this issue:

I have set up a magic mirror (v2) on my pi zero running Jessie Lite. To do so I ended up following the advice of some others here on the forum and am using the kweb browser to display the MM through X windows. When I boot up my Pi Zero, the command line interface takes advantage of the full screen area (i.e. every line can take up the entire screen width and height). When I start X windows and kweb with default screen settings it only takes up about 2/3 of the screen in any direction. I would really like to use the full screen. It’s not the MM itself that’s the problem as any website I display will use the same amount of screen area. I’ve tried playing with the frame_buffer settings, but it doesn’t do what I would want (it seems to scale the image within the bounds I’m seeing, rather than expanding the bounds to the edge of the screen). I am connected by DVI using an adaptor to the mini hdmi port on my pi. Any advice on this would help.
Thanks!
