Hello,
I use an MKS SKIPR (Similar to MKS PI) and an MKS IPS_50 display. I would like to rotate the display 90°.
Makerbase provides a file to rotate this screen 180°. This is a .dtb file (/boot/dtb/rockchip/ rk3328-roc-cc.dtb). That seems unusual for me.
I tried the method described on KlipperScreen (Create /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/90-monitor.conf) but it doesn’t work.
How can I do this?
Regards,
Chris.
That is not how you do it for KlipperScreen at least:
You must add the rotate screen to KlipperScreen config file.
You will hardly ever use the operating system itself anyway so don’t bother. Follow the above to rotate the display on KlipperScreen level and call it a day
I am having the same issue as Chris, so I tried to follow through with your recommendation but there doesn’t seem to be any setting in the directions/descriptions that point to rotating the screen. Do you mean to say you take the comments you would normal save in the 90-monitor.conf file and save them inside the KlipperScreen.conf file?
There’s nothing in the KlipperScreen docs about changing the rotation in the KlipperScreen config. Nothing at all. It’s all about changing it in the OS-level configurations.
Can you share more information about what you are suggesting?
The screen rotation depends on the hardware and the drivers used for that hardware, and it cannot be set in the KlipperScreen configuration.

I guess this…
Required Hardware
KlipperScreen should run on any touchscreen that you can connect to a host (Raspberry, PC, Tablet), but not screens that connect directly to the printer MCU board.

No. I’m sorry, but it makes nothing clear.
Not to vent, but I have researched and read for hours. I’ve tried every permutation of config changes. I still cannot get any rotation of KlipperScreen on my Pi Touch Display 2 but 0 and 180.
Old info, info about kernel bugs, Pi5 needing different drivers from the previous. I’ve just about had it. I finally gave up and just use it in portrait mode; it’s growing on me
I would start with a new topic. Please fill out the template! Any info explaining your problem is very welcomed.
