        In the config.txt I did set display_rotate=3 and/or display_hdmi_rotate=3. It shows no effect.

        On the desktop I can rotate screen without any issue but the splash stays in the default orientation.

          @andyyy ok, I had to edit the image and rotate it to match

          /usr/share/plymouth/themes/MagicMirror/splash.png

          need to use sudo with the editor to save it

            That was my first idea as well. But I was locking for a smarter solution. :)

            I discovered a strange conflict in raspian 64x. Before I did always use the 32x variant.

            I did some research and testing why the display_hdmi_rotate command in the config.txt apparently didn’t work. It seems there is a conflict with DRM VC4 V3D driver (which is enabled by default). Just un-commenting the line #dtoverlay=vc4-kms-v3d the screen rotates (even the splash picture) as expected. The driver obviously overwrites the display_hdmi_rotate command.

            Now the MM and splash have the right orientation. Only the default weather app says loading, but it will be replaced by another module anyhow.

            Thanks, andyyy

              @andyyy all the modules need ali keys now.

              we are steering clear of 64 bit for a while
