Rotate on an HDMI

Question

I have been trying to simply rotate the screen on my Raspberry Pi so it looks like portrait mode. I can't seem to figure out the problem. I go to

sudo nano /boot/config.txt

And then I added both the lines

lcd_rotate = 2 
display_rotate = 3

I have looked on all the forums and some say to use the first one and some say to use the second one. I have tried all different values and combinations to no avail. Please send help. Any help is more than appreciated.

Have you tried them seperately? – Steve Robillard Mar 27 '17 at 02:41 — Steve Robillard, Mar 27 '17 at 02:41

The config to rotate HDMI display is display_rotate=3

SPACES are significant! You MUST enter commands exactly as described in the documentation. Putting in spurious commands is also a bad idea. Unless you actually have a LCD screen don't include.

I use a script to rotate my screen; see https://raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/a/62147/8697
