            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

                    • This doesn’t work on the Pi 4. The work around is to use the screen configuration tool. But I’m looking for a way to do this though ssh
