Screen rotation
Configure the server to start in the desired orientation, there are many ways to achieve this, here are some examples:
!!! warning Rotation is handled by the OS and not by KlipperScreen, if you can't rotate your screen it's usually an issue with the OS configuration
Examples of rotation
???+ example "Universal xorg configuration"
Create /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/90-monitor.conf
```bash
sudo nano /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/90-monitor.conf
```
Paste this section modifying the options to suit your needs:
```kconfig
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "DPI-1"
# This identifier would be the same as the name of the connector printed by xrandr.
# it can be "HDMI-0" "DisplayPort-0", "DSI-0", "DVI-0", "DPI-0" etc
Option "Rotate" "left"
# Valid rotation options are normal,inverted,left,right
Option "PreferredMode" "1920x1080"
# May be necesary if you are not getting your prefered resolution.
EndSection
```
Save the file and restart KlipperScreen.
```bash
sudo service KlipperScreen restart
```
??? example "Using Waveshare screen that is installed with LCD-show"
```bash
cd LCD-show/
sudo ./LCD43-show 270 lite
```
??? example "Using a screen installed with goodtft-LCD-show"
```bash
cd LCD-show/
sudo ./rotate.sh 90
```
??? example "Raspberry Pi"
To set screen orientation when in console mode, you will need to edit the kernel command line to pass the required orientation to the system.
```bash
sudo nano /boot/cmdline.txt
```
To rotate by 90 degrees clockwise, add the following to the cmdline, making sure everything is on the same line, do not add any carriage returns. Possible rotation values are 0, 90, 180 and 270.
```bash
video=DSI-1:800x480@60,rotate=90
```
Other values can be "HDMI-0" "HDMI-1, "DPI-0" etc

Pi4 doesn't support 90 and 270 degrees with this method, [see the official docs](https://www.raspberrypi.com/documentation/computers/config_txt.html#display_hdmi_rotate)
