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.
