rotate boot menu

Open cristids opened this issue 11 months ago • 2 comments

Hi,

I own a GPD Pocket 4 that has a strange screen rotated at boot. I can switch the text mode using fbcon but all the boot menus including grub, systemd are rotated 90 deg ccw. I was wondering if possible to rotate limine boot menu in some way. This could probably benefit other people and devices who have the screen rotated at boot either hardware or because their screens are kept in portrait mode.

Thanks.

Hi, sorry for the somewhat late reply.

This is something that I'd gladly add to the project, but it needs support from Flanterm first and foremost: https://codeberg.org/mintsuki/flanterm

I'll put a pin in it as something to implement over there, then once that's done I'll add a config option to rotate the interface.

Have you tried to actually set the resolution in limine? Default resolution is the "vertical tablet" one, just like on the Steam Deck.

Development has moved to Codeberg: https://codeberg.org/Limine/Limine. Please reopen this issue there.
