Asus Tinker Board w/7" touch screen

Help and Support Help
1

I’m running the asus tinker board with a 7" touch screen. I’m running the latest version of Volumio.
The touch works great.
But how can I rotate the screen from portrait to landscape?

Thanks
Ronnie

I’m guessing Volumio doesn’t have much of a X system installed. As xrandr doesn’t work.
Anyone know if installing the X system would break Volumio. I understand it is made to be a slim operating system in general. But I’d really like to be able to rotate the screen.
As long as it won’t break the system. :laughing:

Thanks

Being it looks like Volumio operates on html and Java, I’m wondering if anyone knows where I might begin my search in the code to find a way to rotate the screen.
Is there a way to rotate the webUI?

Thanks.

Searching the forums produces display-rotation-raspberrypi-official-touchscreen-t10712.html.

Edit: ah sorry, didn’t read the Tinker Board bit. You might want to check on their forums, but as you say there is no underlying x-system to use commands from.

Yeah, the tinker board doesn’t have a config.txt file.
I’ve read all the Raspberry Pi fixes. :confused:

Thanks

I would think tweaking the webui system would be the easiest fix. (easiest being a relative term. :laughing: )
That would be the volumio side of things. I can’t see how the Asus board could help me when the problem seems to be software.

Thanks
