<![CDATA[rotating the screen doesn't work]]>Hey there,

it’s been quite a while since I installed my MM.
Now there was the time for an upgrade of the monitor and I decided to do it with a freshly installed pi to start fresh. That worked fine and I got it running very soon. Only problem is the rotation of the screen:
As far as I know the old methom with boot/config.txt doesn’t work anymore, but I have to use xrandr.
I can use DISPLAY=:0 xrandr --output HDMI-1 --rotate right in console to rotate, but when using @xrandr --output HDMI-1 --rotate right in /etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE-pi/autostart it has no effect.
What is to now correct way of doing it?

Thanks a lot in advance,
Anduril

I got it worked out with xhost + and it works fine now. Thanks a lot for your help.

You might want to read this which comes from the official Raspberry Pi site.

you can change this in the raspian os gui somewhere in the menu.
