[danco89]

where and how do you enter this

[sysco]

where and how do you enter this

Put sd in your computer and edit the file config.txt.

Or open ssh session and edit /boot/config.txt.

Or in raspberry open a terminal (Control + F1) and type nano /boot/config.txt.

Please read the docs.

If you have to rotate the rpi 7" display to portrait (270°) you have to use two things:

1. edit the config.txt and put in display_rotate=3
2. rotate the Touchscreen with

Code: Select all

sudo DISPLAY=:0 xinput --set-prop 'FT5406 memory based driver' 'Coordinate Transformation Matrix' 0 -1 1 1 0 0 0 0 1

from a SSH console. Without ssh its

Code: Select all

sudo xinput --set-prop 'FT5406 memory based driver' 'Coordinate Transformation Matrix' 0 -1 1 1 0 0 0 0 1

im not familar with unix. For Point 2 you have to made a sript to apply it on boot.

Perhaps somebody could make the configuration from the UI?

Hi danco89,

connect your SD card to your computer and navigate (file browser) to:
/boot/config.txt

Open this file with your text editor and search for the line:
lcd_rotate=2

Change that number to your needs.
lcd_rotate=0 Normal
lcd_rotate=1 90 degrees
lcd_rotate=2 180 degrees
lcd_rotate=3 270 degrees

Save the file and put the SD card back in your Pi.
