Description

I have a Lenovo Yoga Book 9i double screen laptop with identical touch screens, however the top monitor (eDP-1) is physically installed upside down. With kernel parameter video=eDP-1:2880x1800,rotate=180 the screen can be rotated and it shows up in hyprland in correct orientation. I'm not that familiar with Wayland or Hyprland so far to tell where this problem is but I'm starting here.

Despite the top monitor showing up in correct orientation mouse is completely inverted (and cursor upside down), moving mouse above from the left corner of the bottom monitor the cursor comes out of top monitor's top right corner with mouse travel inverted on both axis. Is this is a bug or does anybody have ideas how to fix this? Libinput? (without using the kernel video parameter, then normal monitors.conf rotation works but then out of Hyprland everything is upside down...)

How to reproduce

Connect external monitor upside down and use kernel video= to flip it.

why not just use transforms in hyprland instead of kernel parameters?

Fixing the issue in https://github.com/hyprwm/Hyprland/issues/3947 would fix this issue

Using iio-hyprland makes no difference, I mean the mouse movement is still inverted.

stop using a kernel parameter and use hyprland's transforms?

Firstly that prevents auto-rotation from working, it just flips it upside down, both in landscape and portrait as it's originally upside down. Kernel instructs intended orientation and Hyprland is not following it, as a workaround I am currently using a script that toggles monitors. But that also requires workaround to greeter and console is still upside down. And using kernel parameter fixes it for xorg, so console and greeter are right way to begin with.
