Screen Rotation on a Pi5? FAQ options for Pi4 don't seem to work.

[DWS44]

Hi...try to go easy on a Pi newb, but I have been trying to setup FullPageOS on a new Pi5. I can get it to work and display the webpage, but I'm trying to setup my display in Portrait instead of Landscape. I found the suggestions in the FAQ and tried adjusting the config.txt file discussed in Option 1, but they didn't make any difference at all for me. I didn't really understand what Option 2 was suggesting to do, and the link given for Option 2 is dead now. Can anyone point me in the right direction on how to set this to run in Portrait mode on a Pi5?

This works for me on RPI4, should work on RPi5. I will start booting in the landscape orientation, but it will switch to portrait when the browser starts.
sudo nano /home/pi/scripts/start_gui

change the DISPLAY_ORIENTATION=normal to DISPLAY_ORIENTATION=right
save the file( ctrl+x, Y )
reboot the Pi

Thanks for the quick response, but that doesn't seem to work for mine either. If it matters, on mine the start_gui file was not located in the home folder...there was a shortcut file called "scripts" that led to /opt/custompios/scripts/ where there was a start_gui file. I made the edits in that file, rebooted (couple times for good measure) but nothing changed...still stuck in landscape.

oops...scratch that...it worked afterall! I looked one more time and realized I changed "normal" to "right" in the wrong spot down in the actual code. I corrected that one and changed it in the correct spot and it worked.

Thanks again for your help! :)
