Issues

Screen Keyboard

On Phosh, the screen keyboard appears whenever a text input is present (e.g. Terminal window). The screen keyboard is not needed on this device as it has a physical keyboard and lacks a touchscreen.

To disable the keyboard (until next system update)

$ sudo chmod o-x /usr/bin/squeekboard

See Phosh/squeekboard Issue #383 for a proper screen keyboard fix.

Screen Rotation

The screen is natively a portrait screen, used in landscape mode.

Phosh does not currently honor the panel rotation DRM property. The easiest way to rotate the screen is to open the Phosh top panel and press the screen rotation button

Alternatively this command applies the screen rotation, but I didn't find a way of calling it after Phosh lockscreen

$ XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/run/user/10000 wlr-randr --output DSI-1 --transform 270

See Phosh/phoc MR !473 for a possible rotation fix.
