Not working on surface pro

[waldoeGeek]

Doesn't seem to work on surface pro 7. Idk what info you need. Readme.md indicates the following.

Can you give me the input of hyprctl monitors?

[RevolverUnit]

Not initial submitter , but I'm also having issues with my Surface Pro 7. Here's my hyprctl monitors output if that helps.

Monitor eDP-1 (ID 0):  
        2736x1824@59.959000 at 0x0
        description: LG Display 0x0555 0x100000A1 (eDP-1)
        make: LG Display
        model: 0x0555
        serial: 0x100000A1
        active workspace: 1 (1)
        special workspace: 0 ()
        reserved: 0 50 0 0
        scale: 1.00
        transform: 0
        focused: yes
        dpmsStatus: 1
        vrr: 0

It seems iio-hyprland rotates the touch screen input, but doesn't rotate the display itself.

[JeanSchoeller]

Quick question, did you build from source or did you build from package manager. Still need to update the package on AUR.

[RevolverUnit]

The first time I installed the AUR package, but I just now built it from the source and reinstalled it but still have the same issue.

With both, when I run iio-hyprland from the console I still get the lines of "ok" when I rotate the device. Is it possible the issue is on hyprland's end? Maybe with my monitor configuration?

[RevolverUnit]

Nevermind, I figured it out. It was my configuration. I forgot to put "eDP-1" in my monitor configuration. Hopefully this helps you out @waldoeGeek .

[milesdm]

@RevolverUnit AH,HA! I wasn't sure what you meant at first, but I added this to my hyprland.conf (I had no monitor line previously)

monitor=eDP-1,preferred,auto,2,transform,0

My guess is the default transform of 0 (normal) is what does the trick.

Thank you!

[JeanSchoeller]

@waldoeGeek Any chance this also fixed your issue? I will add a line to the README to mention this.

[Yusuf-Duran]

I tried this on my surface pro 7 in august and it didn't work back then. Tried it out today again today and it seems to work. Idk what change fixed it but it works, all that matters.

[Yusuf-Duran]

ok after reading the conversation in here I tried commenting the monitor lines and yeah seems like this causes the rotation not to work. I didn't have any transform, 0 at the end though. My monitor is written as monitor=eDP-1, preferred, auto, auto

[Yusuf-Duran]

Though weirdly back when I tried it last time I am 99% sure I also had the monitor=, because the surface pro 7 has high hidpi and therefore needs scaling to be useable

[JeanSchoeller]

But did you use the eDP-1 name or leave it empty? Hyprland wiki doesn't specify it I believe.

Well here it says monitor=,preferred,auto,1 underneath Recommended rule for quickly plugging in random monitors:. But weirdly enough, without eDP-1 mentioned, it doesn't seem to rotate for whatever reason. I would assume this is an issue on Hyprland's end.

[JeanSchoeller]

Exactly, I think the issue deals with specifying the name more than anything.
