Hey, I'm running arch on a new tablet style machine and whenever it's booting up the screen is rotated 90 degrees to the right. After logging in to i3 I can set it correctly with
xrandr -o left
I don't have a xinit file or system settings application as has been solved here https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=192355
Thanks

Solved it using this https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Tallscreen_Monitor
Specifically this part:
To perform the same rotation with GRUB-2, append fbcon=rotate:1 to the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX variable in /etc/default/grub and execute the grub2-mkconfig command:
grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg
The screen should be reoriented on the next boot, assuming the kernel has been compiled with rotation support.
However even though i was using grub2 I had to change grub2 in the code to grub.
grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

Hi, thanks for pointing `fbcon` to me. I have a question regarding the kernel: when you say
assuming the kernel has been compiled with rotation support
does that mean I'd need to use a different kernel than the standard one? e.g. linux-fbcondecor from the AUR
