already done that, and restart but still same direction. no effect at all.
We use the âstandardâ zen kernel.
Have you tried with another one, e.g. linux or linux-lts?
Anyway there is one aspect that perhaps escapes me. How can the grub be rotated right away if that parameter is passed by selecting a line in the grub itself?
Try to see if switching or booting to a tty see the console rotated. Maybe that was the sense of that parameter.
This is exactly what happens to me if I use that parameter: after selecting the grub entry, if I press esc during plymouth or later on if a switch to a tty, I can see the rotated console.
Probably the solution you found was aimed to rotate the console and mentioned GRUB for the solution, not the problem.

Ah ya filo, if i going to tty i can see my tty already rotate well. But what i want to achieve is in grub to rotate. I attach my screen here, btw sorry if i mistaken something here ya
So its is possible to rotate that ?
Possibly useful:
Yeah I try that but doesn't work, only diff with my grub config is I don't have this
GRUB_GFXMODE=1200x1920x32
So I added it and GRUB still doesn't rotate
Read
Use âautoâ or check your resolution with link above, and do not add values from other posts.
I am using videoinfo inside grub cli, so I know my resolution 1200x1920x32 is correct. But yeah grub still not rotate when I put it on grub config
Maybe my logic is wrong, but I repeat that in my opinion we are going down a wrong path.
The GRUB is already launched, and shown as landscape, when you set that parameter, so it cannot be shown as portrait before (i.e. the parameter take effect).
I hope there is another approach to the problem (I donât know it unfortunately).

Ok, then right now there is no way to rotate that grub @filo ?
Ok I think that the conclusion. Thank you everyone . I will try to rotate Plymouth and SDDM( if I am not mistaken Garuda Sway is using this as dm ) if possible. Thanks for the help
Are you going to give this a shot?
sudo pacman -S linux linux-headers
That way you would be able to test your theory about this kernel module.
It does look like the solution you are trying has worked for some folks in the past: [SOLVED] Display rotated at boot up / Newbie Corner / Arch Linux Forums
You are mistaken, I am afraid. See for yourself:
Did you run update-grubafterwards?
To be on the safe side,
finally do what you are told

Ah ya thank you for pointing this
Yes itâs same config and itâs doesnât work, if you talking about tty yes itâs works, but for grub nope, it doesnât work. Dunno whats the wrong here
@ama-db-1 Please, do not ping with â @ team members.
does it work if you do not have the second monitor connected?

nope, its just stay there like that lol
But for DM greetd it can be rotate via sway
only left is GRUB, and i think plymouth for splash screen that not yet rotate
Just in case it was missed, the configuration in the linked thread is not the same as what you have here.
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="video=efifb fbcon=rotate_all:1"
They are using ârotate_allâ, not ârotateâ. https://libreddit.garudalinux.org/r/GPDPocket/comments/9sl9sp/grub_landscape_working/
