There is another topic with answer for desktop case. But how to rotate the console screen, when there is no desktop? The suggestion about change in kernel parameter - fbcon=rotate:<number> didn't work for me (edited boot.cmd, compiled with mkimage command, and I see boot.scr changed )

 

and I was unable to change the

 

/sys/class/graphics/fbcon/rotate

 

file - it stays unchanged.

have you tried xrandr

Thank you for your answer! But as far as I understand, the xrandr command is designed for desktop, while I am looking for solution for console (no X desktop) configuration.

ah sorry - i misread your post - have you tried

echoing the desired number to /sys/class/graphics/fbcon/rotate_all ? after that im clueless

In order for echo number to fbcon -> rotate or -> rotate_all to work, the kernel should be configured to support rotation in frame buffer, see kernel configuration tool: Device Drivers -> Graphics Support -> Support for framebuffer devices -> Framebuffer Console Support. Currently this requires custom build. I would consider to always enable frame buffer rotation support in default configuration.

 

Correction of path in Kernel configuration: Device Drivers -> Graphics support -> Console display driver support -> Framebuffer Console Rotation.

Thanks for responses ! I had same problem. I fixed !
