How can I change TS050 orientation in VIM3L?

[shyAm]

Let me review, if I overlooked any other changes. Before xorg conf solution, I played with overlay file, /etc/rc.local and khadas_init.sh.

I am using the Ubuntu focal from fenix build.

I haven’t see any difference from the xorg log file.

I use the default gnome desktop, and after add the configuration file, after login the default mode is 1088x1920, and I have to execute xrandr --output "default" --mode "1920x1088" to set the mode to 1920x1088， after that the display is correct.

[shyAm]

I wasn’t paying attention that you were trying on the GNOME desktop. I can reproduce the issue on the GNOME desktop as well.
My suspicion is either the gnome settings daemon or the org.gnome.Mutter.DisplayConfig changing the settings. Will be investigating this further.

The screen rotates fine on a freshly built XFCE desktop eliminating the possibility that I may have modified some script.

Meanwhile could you please try the following using autostart file .config/autostart/rotate-ts050.desktop

[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Name=TS050 in Landscape Mode
Exec=xrandr --output "default" --mode "1920x1088"
Terminal=false
X-GNOME-Autostart-enabled=true

[numbqq]

Yes, that’s my solution.

@numbqq @Frank any update of the TS050 in mainline ?

[numbqq]

Still have no luck to make it work with mainline kernel .

@numbqq I am encountering this error with eMMC images as well, Its the v200530 image and after I did sudo apt update && apt upgrade I seem to be having a torn screen like I had previously (but that was in SD/USB image, this is eMMC image)

this is the plymouth boot splash I guess, it seems to be fine when booting up for a couple of seconds, then immediately after entering tty, it is shows a torn screen…

[numbqq]

I guess you use the server image, right? We have fixed this issue and will release new image this week.

And you can try to upgrade the package manually:

$ wget https://dl.khadas.com/test/linux-board-package-focal-vim3_1.0.4_arm64.deb
$ sudo dpkg -i linux-board-package-focal-vim3_1.0.4_arm64.deb
$ sudo reboot

[Electr1]

yep, I will update it and get back to you

Update: it now works alright

[Electr1]

@numbqq when can we get an update on the fenix 4.9 images ?
I had an unforseen incident, and had to reflash my VIM3 back to v200530, and now I have the same issue as before with TS050 screen torn

[numbqq]

Already updated. Please follow this docs to update to latest V1.0.5 version.

Upgrade The System To Latest Version

[Electr1]

ah yes, its working fine again, sorry for the alarm,
thanks for the update
