Autorotate SDDM login screen

[Adam01]

Hello,

I just installed the KDE version of Manjaro on a partition of my laptop. It’s an 2 in 1 laptop with a reversible monitor.

So I installed iio-sensor-proxy and the git version of screenrotator. Now on Plasma, the rotation of the screen works well but not on the SDDM login screen.

I tried to add the executable command screenrotator in this file /usr/share/sddm/scripts/Xsetup:

#!/bin/sh                                                                       
# Xsetup - run as root before the login dialog appears                          
screenrotator

But it didn’t work. I don"t if screenrotator has been started on the SDDM Login screen or if it must be started with some options.

Thanks,
Vincent.

I have uninstalled SDDM and installed GDM which autorotate the screen.
