In order to fix rotation during loading of the system you need to following:
- Open file for edit(root required) /etc/default/grub
- Add following parts to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT variable:
fbcon=rotate:1 video=DSI-1:panel_orientation=right_side_up
- Execute
sudo update-grub
After that rotation of the screen will be corrected during system startup.
Rotation of KDE can be changed via Display Configuration GUI.
Rotation of login screen (SDDM) has active issue.
Probably will be fixed by replacement of SDDM to PLM(plasma-login-manager) in February 2026.
It's fixed by plasma-login-manager replacement.
sudo pacman -S plasma-login-manager
sudo systemctl disable ssdm
sudo systemctl enabled plasmalogin
After reboot you should be able to see correctly rotate login screen
I used guide from this thread.
- Download minibookx-vbt.tar.gz
- Choose wanted refresh rate (I used minibookx-75.vbt.bin)
- I renamed it to simple vbt
- Placed it to the /lib/firmware
- Add it to /etc/mkinitcpio.conf
FILES=(/lib/firmware/vbt)
- Add following parameter to /etc/default/grub GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT
i915.vbt_firmware=vbt
- Execute
sudo mkinitcpio -P
- Execute
sudo update-grub
After reboot you will see 75Hz in Display Configuration
Thanks to mainteiners of minibook-support.
Simply install
pamac build minibook-support-git
After installation when you switch to the tablet mode keyboard and touchpad will be automatically disabled.
Additionally I installed plasma-keyboard for on-screen keyboard(Don't forgot to choose it in Virtual Keyboard section in the settings)
sudo pacman -S plasma-keyboard
