GPD Win 2 - Need to Rotate Steam, any clue?

I've installed Bazzite (Deck ISO) quite successfully on the GPD Win 2. It boots up fine but is in portrait mode on the built-in screen (which isn't great on a handheld!).

I managed to rotate it in Desktop Mode by plugging in an external monitor, but when I drop back into Steam it's still rotated portrait and there's no option (that I can see) to flip it.

Any ideas anyone please?

rpm-ostree kargs --append-if-missing=video=eDP-1:panel_orientation=right_side_up

rpm-ostree kargs --append-if-missing=video=eDP-1:panel_orientation=right_side_up

the base command is this but we need the connector name for your device

antheas•2/10/25, 3:57 PM

Then we can try changing it

antheas•2/10/25, 3:57 PM

Actually no

antheas•2/10/25, 3:57 PM

I think this needs a session change

antheas•2/10/25, 3:57 PM

@Kyle Gospo can you help with this? Needs the x1 Intel session stuff maybe

Kyle Gospo•2/10/25, 3:58 PM

Yeah like the stupid texture work around thing and whatnot?

Kyle Gospo•2/10/25, 3:58 PM

What's the DMI name of this?

Kyle Gospo•2/10/25, 3:58 PM

Or do we need some special detection method because there's other hardware with the same name?

Given I'm a bit new here, do I need to download a nightly ISO and reflash, add a repository branch and do an update (sorry)?

antheas•2/11/25, 7:19 PM

no, just open handheld daemon in desktop, then updates -> select branch -> testing -> apply

Farty PenguinOP•2/11/25, 8:02 PM

Right, done with work, off to play!

Farty PenguinOP•2/11/25, 8:53 PM

Now on "testing-41.20250210.2". After reboot desktop is still landscape but Steam (Gaming Mode) still portrait.
