[SOLVED] Screen Rotating issues

Hello all,

I install Zorin OS on my laptop and I was loving it. The screen rotations was perfect.

So I took my laptop to college, turn it on, and login. The screen was normal until it flash and my screen was upside down. So I rebooted and the screen was normal until it flash and now it's on the right. So again I reboot it and it was normal then it flash to upside down. Now it'll just flash to upside down and then flash again to right.

I tried xrandr --output HDMI-A-0 --rotate normal

It didn't do anything. This laptop isn't an all-in-one laptop but I do plug this laptop in my monitor and use my laptop screen as a second monitor

Could you please advise Make and model of Notebook and the graphics card/chipset in it - is it a pure graphics chipset or is it an Intel/nVidia hybrid or Intel/AMD hybrid? ;) :D

That's when I have the laptop plugged in the monitor. But it happens when I don't have the laptop plugged into the monitor

by the looks of it the first link works thank you so much :)

Sorry it took this long to reply I was off my computer for so long with work and college. I almost switched to a different distro until I saw this... again thank you so much
