Tried adding 'xrandr -o right' to Grub boot parameters. But get message 'xrandr not found'......
I booted up with screen rotated and then checked WiFi....it works!
Opened up terminal and was able to use it.....even though it is sideways on display.
Tried 'xrandr -o right' and screen went black.
Found webpage with info about rotating screen. Tried what was suggested, but screen went black.
So, main issue now is getting screen rotated correctly....
Any ideas???
Thanks.
PS. Phawx who has posted lots of WIN videos and posts over at
http://boards.dingoonity.org/gpd-devices/g...indiegogo/5430/ says he got Xubuntu running and screen rotation correct. He says the gui has rotation options. Will check if Linux Mint has it too...[UPDATE: Linux Mint has it too, but screen went black after I selected rotation option.
Also learned that used a modded version of Xubuntu from this site:
http://linuxiumcomau.blogspot.com/2016/10/...-trail-and.htmlI just tried running it, but after it starts to boot up, the screen goes black.....just read notes on the webpage and it says:
Some cautionary advice:
The initial menu screen takes slightly longer to appear than with the official ISOs. Depending on the speed of the USB drive used it can be anything from fifteen to forty-five seconds before anything appears on the screen.
After installing with a 32-bit bootloader booting sometimes results just in a blank/coloured (e.g. purple) screen.
To prevent this and to ensure a successful boot it is best boot through the BIOS menu followed by selecting the Ubuntu option.
If dual booting with Windows I recommend installing/re-installing 64-bit Windows to circumvent this issue if your device supports it.
Also, someone else posted they got Arch running with correct rotation with some tweaking. Tried what he did in terminal in Linux Mint, but screen went black.
