      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

        Operating System: Raspbian GNU/Linux 11 (bullseye)
                  Kernel: Linux 6.1.21-v8+
            Architecture: arm64

        well the problem was I think about privileges to issue the xrandr command from a shell. I got it worked out with xhost + and it works fine now. Thanks a lot for your help.

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

            @AnduriI is your @xrandr a copy/paste that @ symbol should not be there I don’t think

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