new to linux and pi, trying to flip my display (not rotate or invert) please help ;-;

I'm using a pi4 to drive a media installation where the image of the monitor is meant to reflect off of a pane of glass, this means that the display is inherently flipped (vertical orientation is correct but text is backwards). As far as I can tell, the orientation settings in preferences include "left, right, normal, inverted," none of which are what I'm looking for. It also seems that any attempts to add "rotate_display=0x10000" to the /boot/config.txt have no effect after saving and rebooting. I'm thoroughly stumped and could use some assistance.

Ahh you mean mirrored.

<a:popukoyes:808633786488586250> yep, is there some way to do this that I've missed?

if you wanna mirror your screen along the y axis, afaik you put this in your config.txt:

display_hdmi_rotate=2

if this does not work for some reason, you COULD play around with your xorg config, although that is a bit more of a hassle.

doesn't look like the hdmi rotate did anything, how would I go about finding and editing this so called xorg config?
