Hello everyone! I have recently dived into the Raspberry world and really enjoying messing with the board and software.
I have a problem I have tried to fix for over a week and I have finally decided to see if anyone can help me here.
I have a Raspberry Pi 3 (Model 3) with the seven inch touch screen
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0153 ... UTF8&psc=1
So what I need to do is have the screen in portrait mode (so the USB ports are facing down)
Once I turn the screen to portrait mode (Physically), I add the code:
Install xinput:
sudo apt-get install xinput
Rotate the display by editing config.txt:
sudo nano /boot/config.txt
.. add this to the buttom of the file: # Touchscreen Portrait Mode
display_rotate=1
Use Ctrl X, Yes to Save
Create a script to rotate the touchscreen:
nano /home/pi/touch_rotate.sh
xinput --set-prop 'FT5406 memory based driver' 'Coordinate Transformation Matrix' 0 1 0 -1 0 1 0 0 1
chmod +x touch_rotate.sh
sudo nano ~/.config/lxsession/LXDE-pi/autostart
@/home/pi/touch_rotate.sh
I reboot the system and the OS now displays in Portrait mode!
I calibrate by going to:
sudo apt-get -y install xinput-calibrator
I get the calibration icon in the menu and I get the screen with four points to press on and get this:
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "calibration"
MatchProduct "FT5406 memory based driver"
Option "MinX" "54658"
Option "MaxX" "54294"
Option "MinY" "19947"
Option "MaxY" "19947"
Option "SwapXY" "1" # unless it was already set to 1
Option "InvertX" "0" # unless it was already set
Option "InvertY" "0" # unless it was already set
EndSection
I make a file then called /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/01-input.conf and add the above items in there and save.
I reboot and get the same issue with the mouse pointer going to opposite direction...
So basically :
If I drag my finger Up, the pointer goes Right
If I drag my finger Down, the pointer goes left
If I drag my finger Left, the pointer goes Up
If I drag my finger Right, the pointer goes Down
I have been to several sites trying to figure this out but I it never fixes itself!
Below are links I have already went to for help:

I hope there is an easy fix and I am just not quick enough to figure it out, any help would be appreciated!!!
