[SOLVED] Trying To Force Vertical Monitor To Display Horizontally

I'm using a computer with a built-in screen. While it is recognized as vertical by Windows and the UEFI BIOS, switching an option or two can force it to function as a normal horizontal monitor. It hasn't been a problem until now because I've had a bigger external monitor that I always used, but for the foreseeable future, I'll need to make do.

Hyprland does indeed rotate the display when I put "monitor=eDP-1,2560x1600@60.00Hz,auto,1" in the hyprland configuration file, but only in the sense that the monitor is now smushed into a tiny 2560x1600 rectangle with massive black borders above and below it - which isn't the desired outcome.

Kernel parameters did naught. Outright ignored the input. Perhaps the resolution is too high? What's strange is that, when the computer is shutting down, it actually does display the desired rotation, but it does so then and only then.

Any ideas? I've tried deleting the xf86-intel-driver package, but that didn't do anything. I do not have any AMD or Nvidia components, in the case that matters

All suggestions will be appreciated.

EDIT/SOLUTION:

I've made quite the blunder. Literally just rotate the initial resolution. In my case, that would be "1600x2560" by a factor of 90°.
