> As expected, it’s not easy. After enabling the VNC service and booting, the screen rotates 90 degrees to the left. The same goes for Kodi.

I’m curious to know how others set it up. \<\<added at 2023-10-10 (Tue)\>\> By restoring the folloing, screen rotation problem is fixed (for VNC service) $ cat /etc/X11/Xsession.d/100custom\_xrandr xrandr --output DSI-1 --rotate right I guess the other problem…
