<![CDATA[Rotating Display Screen]]>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

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.

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
