Wrong screen orientation in 2-in-1 laptop
Posted: 31 Jul 2017, 12:47
Hi,
I have tried to get Porteus 3.2.2 running on my wife's Asus T101HA 2-in-1 laptop - although Windows 10 runs OK on it, it only has 2GB of memory and a 32GB eMMC drive so Porteus looks like a good alternative.
I had to use the NOMODESET cheatcode to get Porteus 3.2.2 x64 XFCE to boot properly - I just get a black screen without that. However, when I do get to the desktop, the orientation is wrong. The keyboard is detachable so the machine can be used as a laptop or a tablet but it is defaulting to portrait mode irrespective of whether the keyboard is attached. I haven't been able to find anything in the settings to change the orientation.
What am I missing? I've tried xrandr with no success but, to be honest, I'm not familiar with it.
Thanks!
