   Hello.

   ob-render should do that.
   https://github.com/whiteinge/ob-randr

   Perhaps there is something more simple, native, as a command line, I don't know...

   I must say too: your title obviously broke a elementary rule; this is not a good idea if you want help ...

   @byllybee,

   Usually, screen orientation is set on startup. Using xrandr, you can re-orientate your screen on-the-fly.

   Let's assume your output is VGA1:
   xrandr --output VGA1 --mode 800x600 --pos 0x0 --rotate normal would set it to landscape mode and
   xrandr --output VGA1 --mode 800x600 --pos 0x0 --rotate left would set it to portrait mode.

   On the other hand, if you just want your display to be set to landscape or to portrait, and leave it that way, you can just edit (root) /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-Monitor.conf and add Option "Rotate" "Left" right before the line EndSection. Next time the system boots, your display will be in portrait mode.

   I hope this helps.
