Screen Rotation Command for Manjaro Phosh Beta 29/PinePhone Beta/Physical Keyboard?

ARM Phosh

When I return from a blanked screen (not a locked screen), the PinePhone is often in portrait mode when it should be in landscape. If set on Auto-Rotate, I need to physically rotate the phone to restore landscape mode.

I understand that xrandr is a non-starter in wayland, but installation/use of wdisplays has no effect and wlr-randr apparently won’t work on the PinePhone:

Any other terminal command available simply to rotate screen either left or right?

Thanks.

Thank you for the tip. The trouble is, I’d like to do it in terminal, then make it into a keystroked command.

Any idea about how to go about it?

After investigation, wlr-randr actually does work, at least for screen rotation. Download, build via meson, and after switching into wlr’s build directory, run:
./wlr-randr --ouput DSI-1 --transform 270
