tech.linux.debian.rotate.console
Created Friday 26 September 2025
I have a tiny laptop with a screen that's rotated. Here's how I rotated it properly for the pre-graphics console.
That's better.
Edit /etc/default/grub/
Add "fbcon=rotate:1"
to the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="quiet" line
Then
su - root
update-grub
Unfortunately it seems grub does not support being rotated. See Kyle Bader's hackaday.io/project/203272 patch.
