Hello,  

I'm using a 7" display case which requires a 180 degree rotation.  I've tried all of the following: 

In config.txt:

display_rotate=2
display_lcd_rotate=2
lcd_rotate=2
dtoverlay=vc4-kms-dsi-7inch,invx,invy

(some do rotate the boot text and spash screen)

And in LXDE-pi/autostart:

# Force DSI-1 output
output "DSI-1" {
    mode "800x480" {
        rotate "normal"
    }
}

But the Emby Theater / LXDE desktop isn't rotating.  Does anyone know what I need to do?

Thanx

Hi there. Pictured in the attachments are...  As the pi boots, you see the splash screen is rotated 180 degrees to render correctly and upright, as a result of the lcd_rotate=2 property I added to config.txt. 

But then when emby theater starts, it will only render in the default orientation.  But which due to the case design, is upside-down.  None of those setting that would normally flip/rotate display orientation are effective.

Hoping one of you good folks know what I can define to control the display orientation of the LXDE desktop to flip it 180 degrees.

Hi, what exactly isn’t rotating?

Hi Luke.  Quoting you here only so you get a notification that I replied and provided the info you requested, but it's in the previous post. I forgot to quote you in that response, so doing it here.  ;)

OK so the webview is handled by electron. We'll look into what it supports regarding orientation. Thanks.
