[Bug 1933452] Re: secondary portrait monitor is not portrait during boot

Fri Jun 25 01:49:03 UTC 2021

This is somewhat related to bug 1873164. In both cases they are
landscape displays that just don't yet know which way is up.

Since we don't have access to the user monitor config (or know which
user) during boot, it's not possible to find out that way. It is however
sometimes possible to read from the monitor over i2s bus which way it is
rotated. I've never seen that implemented in real software though.

** Package changed: xorg (Ubuntu) => plymouth (Ubuntu)

** Summary changed:

- secondary portrait monitor is not portrait during boot
+ Portrait monitor is not portrait during boot

** Changed in: plymouth (Ubuntu)
   Importance: Undecided => Low

** Changed in: plymouth (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Triaged
