    Look up compiz fusion for your version of linux mint.

      Rotating screen? You mean making the image go upside down? Check the intel drivers, my ATI has it there, also i used to have a laptop with intel x3100, and the option was in the video drivers.
      I can put text here?!

          DJduck; i don't think this is Ati!,it's Intel graphics from lenovo, i have the video drivers on a stick, but it says for windows xp ,since i'm running linux mint mate alone,no win xp i don't think i can run any win xp drivers.
          But what i don't understand is that when i first installed same linux as i'm running now i had the monitor control to change left right 180º also had the choice of changing screen colours resolution,as you can see in the pic atachement,resolution,Refresh rate and rotation switches are frozen and when i click detect monitors it just doesn't show anything.

            Do you have it installed on a tablet?

            What Desktop are you using? Mate? Cinnamon?

            I have Cinnamon (I think). In the system tray (lower right) click on the "^" symbol, and select:

            Settings > Applets > Display

            Checking the box will put a display icon in the system tray. From there you can rotate the screen.

            If you are using a touchscreen, it will not rotate that. If you need to do that, I know a work-around for that.

                  Re: rotating screen on linux mint?

                  compiz requires 3D, are intel drivers loaded? check additional drivers or restricted drivers.

                  Also are you sure compiz is enable check the setting it may be running defaults, an option should be there to enable the cube and allow rotating.

                        Run these in term and post back what you get.
                        Code:
                        inxi -Gx
                        Code:
                        lshw -C video
                        Code:
                        lsmod
                        I found another guide a bit older but worth looking at.

                        It should be under settings from the system menu called "additional drivers" or "restricted drivers" you can run a search from the menu to find it.

                        Then for compiz, you'll want to look for CCSM *CompizConfig Settings Manager* It too should be under settings or system control panel. This is where you select the options for compiz like rotating cube, wavy windows and so on.

                        I think you can run compizconfig in term for quicker access but I'm not sure.

                        Are you using dual monitors?

                        If not the it sounds like your xorg.conf is fubar.
                        Go to the display settings and reset your resolution then follow by restart.

                        if it doesn't work, post your xorg.conf from /etc/X11/xorg.conf

                                OK Professor, after so much head scratching i found out the problem was not the OPS but the monitor itself changed the connection to other monitor and it recognizes it right away, then i unplugged the monitor that i was using from the power and from the VGA cable turned on the PC and it also recognized it with the rotation scream resolutions and everything is OK. anyway some times a simple thing turns out to be a big thing with no solution in sight,i made so many linux install for nothing,anyway i apreciate your help.

                                  Hi guys it's me again,i have same problem again i type Xrandr and get the same as in the pic that i posted bifore,although the screen did not change and stayed where i wanted it, but can't control nothing as before,i had it but something is changing it,i guess if it changes i have to do what i did before change monitors and go back,it's kind of weird i don't know if it's the monitor or the linux software.

                                    In the future, instead of taking a picture of your screen, copy and paste the text to the post. If you want to output the results of a command directly to a text file, do this:

                                    Code:
                                    lshw -C video > lshw-C-video.txt
                                    The file will be in your home folder. The .txt is just so Windows can recognize the file, and open it.

                                      Thanks TimeRetire; i was able to solve the problem by getting an atx power supply that i had hanging around connected a cable to the 12v output yellow+black and pluged in the 12v monitor with a power strip sw,

                                      what was causing the monitor to loose the monitor control settings was that i've splited the DVD/cd's cable output by chanting the cable and connected it to the monitor,but i guess when the pc turned on it would turn on the mother board first then the dvd/cd,since the monitor has to be on before the mother board, it would loose the monitor controls so it would not detected the monitor even thought the monitor was working write.

                                        Hi,

                                        I have a iphone XS that came in for a screen replacement, the screen was badly cracked, and inside missing scues, on the back of the screen still the blue protector, the screen was a LCD. So we replaced the screen and all good, installed the screen and we noticed that pressing the screen with a bit of force but not excessive, the phone dies. After plugging the charger it turns back on, but again if you press it it dies. I open the phone again, and I can't see anything major, with the phone open, if I press on the logic board, battery, charging board, or even putting pressure on...

                                        Samsung UE55JU6800K half screen dark
                                        by Chrissygizmo
                                        Hello everyone, I’ve just been given a Samsung UE55JU6800K smart tv as it had white spots on the screen due to the led lenses falling off. After refitting them & putting the tv back together I thought it was a nice easy fix for a free bedroom tv , then I tried it before screwing the back into place. I realised that the right side of the screen was darker than the other side, I removed the screen again as I thought the backlights had failed but they are fine.
                                        I put the screen back in place & turned it back on . The screen seemed to be ok again but different screens on the same...

                                        Dell 5591 overheating in memtest86+ but cool running Linux Mint - What causes this?
                                        by honigmann
                                        This machine comes with the i7-8850H, no internal drive and no battery installed, the bottom cover removed, an original Dell power supply is used. I just installed 8GB RAM, ran memtest86+ and noticed a power draw of about 40-50W. Accordingly within minutes the temperature went up to just below 100 degrees with the fan spinning wildly. Same thing when I enter the BIOS (1.20.0), around 40W power draw.

                                        Next thing I tried was an install stick with Linux Mint on it. Initially I am also at around 40W but with idle desktop (Xfce) it draws just 6,5W. Is this a BIOS issue? Version 1.34 is...

                                        Vizio TV M50-C1 reboot cycle and static on screen
                                        by spice_disc
                                        I'm currently trying to diagnose and fix my Vizio TV (Model M50-C1). I've tried a number of different basic solutions, but I'm trying to determine if my issue is currently a failing panel, T-Con board, or main board (or something else entirely) and whether or not it is worth my time to fix it. Details of the issue and what I've tried are below as well as why I think it is either a bad panel, T-Con board, or main board.

                                        The Issue: The TV will be on and working fine but after the TV is on for ~5-10 minutes the screen will freeze (with sound continuing) until the TV reboots itself. While...

                                        ipad pro 9.7" blew a SMD component while replacing the screen 🤦‍♂️
                                        by ipatch
                                        i have an ipad pro 9.7" (1st gen) A1674 where i replaced the screen, but never attached the screen to the frame/chassis (glued down) due to the ipad being previously dropped so the new screen would never fit in the frame properly. so i need flex/bend the chassis to eventually fix the new screen in properly. so i temporarily just applied blue tape around the edges of the screen to keep it in place. when watching videos with the ipad the screen started flicker, so i though maybe the new quasi cheap amz screen i purchased was going out. so i disconnected then reconnected with power still on,...
