Rotate Waveshare 7" Capacitive Touchscreen 90 or 270deg

Sun Oct 22, 2017 3:44 pm

Has anyone managed to rotate the Waveshare (1024x600) 7" HDMI capacitive touchscreen 90 or 127 deg?

The screen will rotate using display_rotate = 1 or 3.

The touchscreen driver is their own. Hence the 90 deg rotate solutions on this forum do not seem appropriate. I contacted Waveshare and they said I would have to recompile the kernel with x,y swapped (and then not do updates). I am not comfortable with this approach (even if I was able to do it!). Hence wondered if anyone else had found a way to do it.

For reference the relevant output from xinput is:
Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)]
Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)]
Waveshare Waveshare Touchscreen id=6 [slave pointer (2)]

Any advice appreciated.

Thank you

Mike
