I know that you can use the Screen Configuration tool from the desktop, but can I set this over ssh? Basically how can I use the Screen Configuration tool in the terminal on PI4?

I figured it out. Screen Configuration tool is just a GUI for XRandR. We can use,

DISPLAY=:0 xrandr --output $monitorName --rotate $orientation

Where $monitorName is the display name from the output of DISPLAY=:0 xrandr.

$orientation is left, right, inverted, or normal.

EDIT: It seems that the process I described here no longer works with the raspberry PI 4

I didn’t even know that the raspberry PI 4 was a thing yet, haha.

I found a thread here that seems to cover the solution.

Basically, while in the terminal (or SSH) try editing the following config file like so:

sudo nano /boot/config.txt

And then adding ONE of the following flags at the bottom of the file depending on how you want the screen to rotate (don’t include the parts in parentheses):

display_rotate=0 (Normal)

display_rotate=1 (90 degrees)

display_rotate=2 (180 degrees)

It does look like this approach might also rotate the mouse movement, however if you are using SSH I get the feeling that this won’t be a problem for you.

  @user1070953 I see... most results I’ve found don’t explicitly apply to or don’t work with the raspberry pi 4. I’ll keep looking, but I don’t own a PI 4 yet so I can’t try and crack the issue firsthand, sorry
