How to rotate LCD display on mcimx6q-sdb board?

[williamwoo]

I am using ubuntu linaro image on mcimx6q-sdb board with imx28 lcd.

It is booted in the landscape display mode and I would like to change the display to the portrait mode.

I tried to find the method to do it, but I was not able to come up with the way to rotate the display.

Could anyone tell me how to set the portrait display mode?

Thanks for your reply.

I tried to change the lcd display mode on imx6q-sdb using xrandr command.

But it is not working well and the command prints a error message.

$ xrandr -o left

Hi

I am getting this same error with xrandr (on SabreLite board with Freescale Ubuntu L3.0.35_4.0.0). Did you find any solution how to rotate?

(Also tried xorg.conf Option “Rotate” “CCW” and bootargs fbcon=rotate:1 as suggested here http://boundarydevices.com/portrait-mode-x-on-i-mx51/ but no effect, and it was for mx51)

Succeeded to rotate to portrait with Rotate option in xorg.conf after changing Driver from vivante to fbdev.

Can you give the details about using xrandr by changing Driver from vivante to fbdev

Hi. I did not succeed to make xrandr work but succeeded to rotate view by editing "Device" section in xorg.conf:

Driver        "fbdev"

Option        "fbdev"        "/dev/fb0"

Option         "Rotate"    "CW"

You can try this.

1. export DISPLAY=:0.0

2. xrandr -q ( it will show out the screen information )

3. xrandr -o left

4. xrandr -o right

For more information of the xrandr command, please type xrandr -help.
