Hello, I’ve been looking for a resolution to this issue for days now and just can’t find anything.
TLDR: My external portrait monitor shows that it is rotated in the software, but is displaying sideways (normal orientation for landscape mode), includes part of the monitor to the right of it, but lets the mouse cursor move normally across it (left-to-right motion working for portrait mode, even though image appears to be landscape).
Software shows this:
Actual image on screen is this:
I should also note, the image is actually sideways/oriented on the monitor as if it were still in Landscape orientation)…
I am using KDE Plasma.

When looking at my display settings it shows the resolution is still 1680x1050, but rotated left. However, my experience with Windows is that the resolution will show 1050x1680 when in portrait mode.
The real kicker is that this worked without any problems when I was running Manjaro, but that was XFCE.
Anyone have thoughts on how to get my display to actually show portrait properly? Appreciate it!
