Good day to everyone. I would like to say hello to each one of you. I am using Linux for more than 20 years as normal/daily user.

Now straight to the point. I installed KDE Neon on my brand new laptop HP Pavilon with touchscreen. I am able to rotate screen via settings, however touch input is not rotating - wayland issue?? . Now some questions:

1. Is it possible to rotate screen AND touch input? If yes - how?
2. Is it possible to make it from command line?

Info:
Kde Neon 5.20 with NVidia graphic.

Very big thanks in advance.

I'am using this line to rotate the touchsreen
Code: Select all
xinput set-prop "FTSC1000:00 2808:1015"  --type=float "Coordinate Transformation Matrix" 0 1 0 -1 0 1 0 0 1

By default, the tablet that I use to test KDE Neon (Lenovo Miix 320) is in potrait mode. Thus in order to return it to default touchscreen orientation I use
Code: Select all
xinput set-prop "FTSC1000:00 2808:1015"  --type=float "Coordinate Transformation Matrix" 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0

FTSC1000:00 2808:1015 is my touchscreen device name. I found the name after running xinput_calibrator or using command xinput -list

I figured it from other linux forum
