Description Max Schaefer 2024-05-23 02:22:56 UTC 
When installing openSUSE Aeon, I set my kernel parameters as follows:

video=DSI-1:panel_orientation=right_side_up

This changes orientation in the boot process but once the UI loads orientation is reset.

Is there any way to fix this?

> Is there any way to fix this?

You can go to the top right hand corner of the Installer screen and click the tray there, choose the cog icon for Settings > Displays, and change the orientation of the panel

I don't think wayland/GNOME can interpret nor honour the Kernel mode video= parameter

Is this a satisfactory answer for you?
Comment 2 Max Schaefer 2024-05-23 12:29:12 UTC 
When setting the kernel mode video parameter it works in wayland after install (Gnome/KDE) - tested across other distros and it works there too, just somehow it doesn’t work in the SUSE installer…

I can't see any cog to change the display settings, just a button to change the theme, do you have a screenshot?

Cog Icon

The Cog icon is the one directly to the left of the padlock icon and directly to the right of the screenshot icon (your tik installer won't have a power icon..but I'm on a test machine here)

I'm able to spin my screen around at whatever direction I'd want from the Display settings launched by clicking that cog icon

Closing - no response and suspected was not using Aeon but legacy MicroOS installer
Comment 5 Max Schaefer 2024-06-12 00:19:23 UTC 
Was using legacy MicroOS as this was before the release of RC2 - Aeon installer does not have this issue, apologies for the delay on this.
