I remember seeing this issue on a mailing list a while back related to Cinnamon settings causing it; the solution there was to go into the settings and turn off the option to rotate the screen by default.

Hello,
The other day I installed a fresh copy of Debian 10 on my HP 840 laptop. Previously I had Debian 9 on it and had a kernel
panic error which crashed the system. I ran the fdsk command to try and restore it but as of today its still down.

I put in a new hard drive and ran through the install. Now when I try and log in the screen is upside down. I am not sure what happened. Maybe the OS thinks this is a computer pad device or something. Does anyone know how I can fix this? I can log in as
either root or myself.

please advise.
thanks,
Greg
