I’m using EndeavourOS with KDE.
The display is correctly oriented when logged in but it doesn’t rotate correctly when I’m logged out.
EDIT: corrected the post. This happens when logged out, locking the screen has it displayed correctly.

Unfortunately, I'm having to use X11 because of work (context). Thanks for the help!

Oh, I didn't know that button existed. Great! Even though I just tried it and it didn't apply my rotation settings correctly.

Correct. Unfortunately, it's something that each desktop environment or window manager has to implement themselves. But all the button is doing is moving some config files around, so you can probably do some digging to figure out what it's copying to where.

XDG_SESSION_THEME=KDE got my hyprland config to work on everything except the cursor (other than in Firefox/steam for some reason). Took me way too long to find the old reddit post that had this tip, so I hope it helps!

Yeah that difference in configuration definitely makes it so much better, it completely outweighs the fact that Wayland does proper multi-monitor VRR, fractional scaling, HDR and much more.

Literally yes. And you don't even need to know the exact pixel resolution of the TV.
Edit: Here are the problems with you "Wayland isn't good enough" people.
First, you don't use Wayland, so you don't even know if it's fixed whatever weird issue you encountered with it before or if it supports a niche use case, for example.
Second, Wayland won't get good enough for you until you start using it and reporting bugs. You think X11 was a bed of roses when it first started? Or do you think they bumped the version number 11 times for fun?
Nibodhika 11 points 2 years ago
You can't be this stupid, Wayland also uses a config file, you just have a GUI button to copy the configs from inside your session to the login screen. Or do you think the button recompiles the login screen with a different configuration?
narc0tic_bird 1 point 2 years ago
Ironically SDDM itself still runs on X11 afaik, Wayland support is still experimental.
Thorned_Rose 2 points 2 years ago
I think you have to manually enable it (may depend on your distro/DE) but SDDM works fine with Wayland as it stands now.
bjoern_tantau 10 points 2 years ago
Uh, all that button does is write your configuration to the sddm config. Of course you can also do that manually.

In Wayland, the compositor is the window server ( the equivalent of Xserver ). What you are looking for has to be a feature of the compositor and it is.
As others have said below, wlroots based compositors offer wlr-randr. There is also gnome-randr. For KDE, there is Kscreen-doctor. For X ( the window server being used by SDDM here ), there is xramdr.
Now, some people may see it as a problem that we have multiple Wayland implementations. I am mostly not fighting that battle. I will say that I hope these are not the same people that winge about systemd though and push for alternate init systems. I hope nobody that thinks MUSL is cool Is clinging to X11.
I would prefer that there was a common configuration standard for this stuff on Wayland. It will probably come eventually. Maybe as part of the freedesktop.org stuff.
Generally, I believe the Linux ecosystem has been stronger in areas where there has been competition between implementations ( even compilers ). I hope that Wayland will be one of those areas. As the core problems get fixed, the pace of innovation will increase. I believe we are already seeing that. There are more examples every day of things Wayland can do that X11 cannot. Let’s hope for more of that.

You left a very gracious reply so let’s not fight.
I see a certain amount of irony in the overlap between the group of people ranting that Wayland has too many implementations and the group demanding more implementations of everything else. So that was my point.
Certainly we can agree though that there is nothing wrong with demanding more of both.
One my favourite new distros, Chimera, uses both Wayland and dinit (and Turnstile ).
I am interested to see where the diversity that Wayland provides goes actually. Have you seen this?

Put one hand on the top and one on bottom and rotate the screen by 90° or π/2 radians
narc0tic_bird 26 points 2 years ago
This is SDDM, the default login manager used by KDE.
The Arch Wiki has an article about it, look under section 2.6.
ClemaX 15 points 2 years ago
From Archwiki > xrandr:
Tip: Both GDM and SDDM have startup scripts that are executed when X is initiated. For GDM, these are in /etc/gdm/, while for SDDM this is done at /usr/share/sddm/scripts/Xsetup. This method requires root access and mucking around in system configuration files, but will take effect earlier in the startup process than using xprofile.

That's not the point here but can you share your wallpaper? 😄

I can't remember where I found it, but here it is. I thought it might be from here (I've used these previously) but it is not.
AkatsukiLevi 9 points 2 years ago
You just need to look at the problem from a different angle
bjoern_tantau 8 points 2 years ago
Is this when the screen is locked or when you're logged out? Those are two different things and I suspect it's the latter. That's probably sddm and I suspect it can be fixed by using Wayland with it. Should be some option in /etc/sddm.conf or so.
governorkeagan 6 points 2 years ago
I corrected the post, thanks for calling it out! It’s fine when locked but the issue happens when logged out.

Your screen on the left appears to be rotated vertically, rotate it 90 degrees clockwise and it should be better.

Easily fixable, just use Windows bro
Lotarion 4 points 2 years ago
If you think this is very witty and a gotcha, you're wrong. This argument doesn't work in reverse because whoever is using Linux already knows all about Windows, since, y'know, it has most of the Desktop market in its grip
This is like yelling about straight pride
baatliwala 2 points 2 years ago
It's satirical/sarcastic, I even added the bro and everything. You see Linux users doing the same on every fucking Windows post so I couldn't resist.
ilinamorato 32 points 2 years ago
This sort of passive-aggressive "help" feels like a relic of the early 2010s we could do without.
tacostrange 9 points 2 years ago
OP probably wasn't aware it was an SDDM issue. Or even what SDDM is, hence the question.
ilinamorato 5 points 2 years ago
Well, there was zero effort documented in the post.
You're not their teacher. It's not your job to decide how much effort they've put forth, or to grade whether or not that is sufficient.
Take a look at Ubuntu trying to teach newcomers how to ask a question.
And if they documented their research process, you'd say "tldr just ask the question." Stop trying to be paternalistic and gatekeepy. Just answer or don't.
ilinamorato 0 points 2 years ago
How do you think the OP is supposed to know that "SDDM" is the issue to look up? You don't get to enforce another person's effort. If all you want to provide is "you're looking for 'SDDM,' that would provide help and empower them without sounding like you're biting the newbie for not knowing everything.
tate 18 points 2 years ago
When you search for a problem like this one, often the results with helpful answers are on forums. These wouldn't exist if no one ever asked their question on a forum.
To put it another way, google doesn't create any content. That's what we're here to do instead.
NaibofTabr 13 points 2 years ago
Yup, and it might be necessary to reproduce a lot of the answers that people used to find on reddit.
bali10050 0 points 2 years ago
I have no problem with questions on forums, sometimes I ask them myself, but I think that if you expect people to try to answer your question, people should be able to expect you to have tried looking for an answer yourself.

a valid forum question
I wouldn't presume to judge this, and I dont think you should.
There is no issue related to a deluge of "invalid" or even redundant forum questions. That's simply not a real problem.
uhN0id 0 points 2 years ago
Then offer education or ignore the post. You know what's easier than OP googling the question? You not responding to OP if you don't have anything of value to add. You're here with a passive aggressive "let me Google that for you" bullshit attitude yet YOU'RE upset at OP for not being better at searching for their answers?
I agree people should put more effort into trying to figure it out on their own and learning how to ask good questions but the tone of your comments is more detrimental to the quality of these communities than a "stupid question" ever will be.

Hugh_Jeggs 1 point 2 years ago

Hugh_Jeggs 3 points 2 years ago
It's true though, every thread about Windows is full of Linux users saying how you should just use Linux, and others saying they still can't because it still doesn't work properly after all this time. Then you get the Linux users saying "iT jUSt wORks", then posting shit like this demonstrating that it clearly still doesn't

If you're using Wayland, you can go to Settings -> Colors & Themes -> Login Screen (SDDM) and click "Apply Plasma Settings..."
If you're using X11, it looks like you'll have to resort to hacky scripts, unfortunately.
