      Hello,
      I have a 2560x1080 display on the Raspberry Pi4. I cannot rotate the display. My settings are:

      @lxpanel --profile LXDE-pi
      @pcmanfm --desktop --profile LXDE-pi
      @lxterminal
      @leafpad
      @xrandr --output HDMI-1 --rotate right
      @xscreensaver -no-splash@
      

      and /boot/config.txt:

      hdmi_safe=1
      hdmi_drive=2
      hdmi_ignore_edid=0xa5000080
      hdmi_aspect_21_9=7
      hdmi_pixel_freq_limit=400000000
      hdmi_cvt=2560 1080 50 7 0 0 1
      config_hdmi_boost=4
      max_framebuffer_width=2560
      max_framebuffer_height=1080
      framebuffer_width=2560
      framebuffer_height=1080
      display_rotate = 2
      avoid_warnings=1
      hdmi_group=2
      hdmi_mode=87
      hdmi_force_hotplug=1
      dtoverlay=vc4-fkms-v3d
      max_framebuffers=2
      

      Can somebody help me?

          @wuermchen there should be an option in the raspi-config program (run from a terminal window) for rotation

          sudo raspi-config

                  @wuermchen I think your original problem was in /boot/config.txt where you had spaces around the equal sign for display_rotate.

                    I found the mistake. The HDMI cable was defective. I installed a new cable and now it automatically detects the resolution. The display is now correctly rotated.
