RetroFE and screen orientation
« on: June 14, 2025, 06:24:45 pm »
Looking for a little help with a RetroFE config problem. I'm trying to configure a Dell miniPC (win10) for a vertical monitor setup using a Coinops vertical release.
I rotated the monitor and changed Win10 to portait mode, desktop looks fine.
I open the frontend (based on RetroFE) and it displays sideways in horizontal mode.
Editing the global settings.conf file per the online instructions to set screen rotation seems to be simply ignored by RetroFE. Doesn't matter what rotation I set, nothing changes.

To make it work, I'm forced to set rotation using the Win 10 display properties and change it in Windows to "landscape (flipped)" which makes tweaking other configs awkward to say the least with the Windows desktop flipped sideways.

Is there an easy fix for this?
