Adafruit Mini PiTFT 1.3" - 240x240 TFT, console image offset when rotated 90° or 270°
When using the pi-tft installer and choosing either 90 or 270° the console image is offset and the "old" console remains on the screen in it's original orientation.
Environment: raspberry pi OS buster
Hardware: raspberry pi zero 2 W / Zero2Go UPS hat / Zero4U USB hub
Thanks for the details. The only one of those that I have is the Pi Zero 2 W.
Verified with a Pi Zero 2 W using the Desktop installation of Buster, Console install option, and a BrainCraft HAT. I suspect the board doesn't matter and I also suspect it may do the same on bullseye, but perhaps not since it has newer drivers. First one is easy to verify. Yeah, it does it on a Pi 4 as well.
Thanks Melissa, I just borked my zero with a power failure while updating so I'll reinstall with bullseye.

Verified it still happens with bullseye and even on lite install. If you can, I'd recommend lite and using FBCP and it should be fine for now.
Hmm, I thought I had previously fixed this. I found #129, which changes the driver parameter from rotate to rotation. This appears to fix it. I need to investigate why it was changed back.
It looks like it was changed in #157 by me. Unfortunately I never documented why I made that change. My guess it was either:
- It broke something for the FBCP install (possibly this issue: #138)
- It was an accident.
I need to test to see if there are issues with the desktop if it uses rotation instead of rotate. We may just simply need to have alternate parameters for the console install if it is an issue.

For now, you can edit /boot/config.txt and just manually change the parameter name.
