Hi,

Thanks,
AnkyB

I changed usr/share/X11/xorg.conf/99-something.conf and added


    option "rotate" "cw"

But this, unfortunately, will not rotate the mouse cursor.

Have you added it to the device section?
It's an option of the fbturbo driver.
This does only take effect after a restart of X.
fbturbo has no support for the rotation xrandr uses.

For me this fucks up the mouse cursor, which does not get rotated and clicks do not get registered where the cursor got displayed
