Hello, 

I have a small problem:
I would like using Raspberry PI 7 inch LCD on portrait mode. (standing mode)
I added on /boot/config.txt: lcd_rotate=2 and display_rotate=1
The display is OK, but touch screen not good! The touch not rotating 90 degrees.
How I rotate touch screen 90 degrees?

If it's the official Raspberry Pi screen you are using lcd_rotate=2 actually rotates the display & touch 180degrees. But display_rotate will rotate the display on its own and I presume with a value of one only to 90degrees, not changing any touch params. Try lcd_rotate=1 instead with no value for display_rotate. display_rotate is also very CPU heavy I've read and should be avoided if poss.

Hope this helps!

Kivy has built in capabilities to rotate the output.  just press f1 ,  choose rotation. Or just change in config. Try it it definitely would be more performant as it's just rotating within OpenGL
