      @n6ng Sounds like you have a raspberry pi 4.

      With those, there is a screen configuration app in the desktop menu, under settings. You’ll need to rotate the screen there, and deal with the CLI interface being wrong way.

      For Raspberry 4 as of Nov 2020:

      Click Raspberry Logo in the top left corner (open application menu)
      Select “Preferences” -> “Screen Configuration”. A new window “Screen Layout Editor” will be opened.
      In the new window menu, select “Configure” -> “Screen” -> “HDMI-1” -> Orientation

      The "E" in "Javascript" stands for "Easy"

        @bkeyport Nope… I’m using a Raspberry Pi 3B+
        I will try what you suggested and see if it works for the Pi 3…
        Thanks

            @sdetweil No Sam… I did display_rotate=1 and that didn’t do anything… I just tried the display_rotate=right and rebooted and that didn’t rotate the screen either…

              @n6ng I guess what I need to do is see a config.txt that actually works and I can see what is different from the one I’m using. If someone could post it here so I can see it. I can do the comparison. Thanks again… especially to Sam whose script to install the magicmirror worked flawlessly… Great aid in getting it up and running.

                @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…

                    I do believe the command is still numeric.

                      @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.
