Try:
xrandr=-o%20right


or simply explore xrandr options in debug mode:
http://manpages.debian.net/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=xrandr

Hi Andreas,


Please try Webconverger 12.3 in debug mode.

Type `xrandr -q` to figure out the connected output name.

In my case it is HDMI1.

Then try:

xrandr --output HDMI1 --rotate right

If it that works you need to then put in your config:

xrandr=--output%20HDMI1%20--rotate%20right


-o is the old way of doing it I'm told:
