Raspberry Pi 7inch Display Rotation #30

Using the raspberry pi's 7 inch touchscreen with the lcd ribbon, the display works after installing "RpiDisplaySetup" but you have to edit config.txt in the u-boot directory with "lcd_rotate=2" to rotate in the proper orientation so that it works with all display housings. I'll provide a picture of what it looks like after editing the config.txt file 407050436_3717133245188235_542810770937370494_n

When you run RpiDisplaySetup's setup script, you are asked if you want to rotate the display. If so, the script adds that line to config.txt.

I have never been asked after install. Is this something you have to initiate in a terminal

While you can auto-install RpiDisplaySetup from PackageManager, doing so uses defaults: the official RPI touchscreen with no rotation, default backlight and dimming.

if you need anything else, you need to run /data/RpiDisplaySetup/setup from the terminal or ssh. You are then prompted for your specific options.
