Kobo Glo (N613): Wrong screen rotation

Open tux-linux opened this issue 2 years ago • 1 comments

Thanks for this program. /sys/class/graphics/fb0/rotate, on imx507 devices and most other Kobos, is set to 3 for the screen to be in an upright orientation (UR). On my Glo it shows rotated vertically because you set it to 1. Refer to this script's excerpt for developing a fix: Some devices codenames (emu, bpi, kt) can be ignored.

if [ "${DEVICE}" == "n705" ] || [ "${DEVICE}" == "n905b" ] || [ "${DEVICE}" == "n905c" ] || [ "${DEVICE}" == "n613" ]; then
        FB_UR=3
elif [ "${DEVICE}" == "n306" ]; then
        FB_UR=3
elif [ "${DEVICE}" == "n873" ]; then
        FB_UR=0
elif [ "${DEVICE}" == "emu" ]; then
        FB_UR=0
        ifconfig eth0 up
        udhcpc -i eth0
elif [ "${DEVICE}" == "bpi" ]; then
        FB_UR=0
elif [ "${DEVICE}" == "n236" ] || [ "${DEVICE}" == "n437" ]; then
        FB_UR=3
elif [ "${DEVICE}" == "kt" ]; then
        FB_UR=1
else
        FB_UR=0
fi
echo ${FB_UR} > /sys/class/graphics/fb0/rotate

Yes, I'll deal with this once my work station is back up and operational. Thanks for the report!
