Rotate screen on a intel nuc 5ppyh does not work.

1st Official Post

    I know about the lcd_rotate=2 and display_rotate=2 in the boot.txt file (and yes i want a 180 rotation).

    I have tried both none work.

    If i install openelec (latest) on the nuc the display_rotate=2 do work (lcd_rotate does not).

    I have a rpi3 and display_rotate=2 works on both openelec and libreelec there (lcd-rotate does not work there either) but the rpi3 is used elsewhere and i only did a test (on the same screen that i need 180 rotation on).


    I did follow the guide from here.

    As in

    Code
    mount -o remount,rw /flash

nano /flash/config.txt

mount -o remount,ro /flash

reboot

    And on openelec it is the /boot/config.txt file that i add display_rotate=2 (or lcd_rotate=2) too.

    in libreelec there is no /boot folder and no config.txt file but tired adding thoose (did not work).

    There are also no config.txt file in the flash folder on libre so i add a config.txt file with only display_rotate=2 (or lcd) in it reboot (does not work).

    I have also tried adding all text from the config.txt file here and from what i remember looks the same as the one in openelec and then add display_rotate=2 (or lcd) at the bottom (also tried the same in /boot/config.txt) reboot.

    But that does not work either


    So what´s going on???

    Anyone have any idé for a solution?

    You are using commands that are used designed for a Raspberry Pi, which is a totally different hardware animal compared to an Intel NUC box.

    You can use xrandr --output HDMI-1 --rotate inverted for Intel graphics. Change the video output port as necessary.

    Secondly, put the xrandr command(s) in the .config/autostart.sh file.

    Yep that did it! (with HDMI-2)

    After i made an autostart.sh file that is.

    And i had no ide at all that lcd/display_rotate=2 was only for the pi but after you said that i did see that i was in "Config.txt - Tweaking the RPi" wiki.

    I did find that page trough google so had no idé it was pi only also took a better look now at the wiki and no mention at all about stuff like this for genericx86.

    And the hundreds off other sites/wiki/forum posts (i rarely post questions like this) i looked at for hours before making this tread since in many off them pi was never mentioned at all (sure a lot did but many did not).

    Alos many off them did mention various intel/amd/nuc/genericx86 some off them even said it worked fine with lcd/display_rotate on thoose.

    Therfore i had no ide that it was pi only.

    And thanks by the way!

    Raspberry Pi's are used for many solutions such as advertising, and rotating screens are more common there.

    Not many Intel boxes are used with rotated screens, so the need for wiki pages on that subject is low, I guess.
