Why does it display 800×1280~60Hz instead of 1280×800~60Hz in my case? Is there a way of changing it to the latter?

Bonjour @c0pA,

The reason you see 800×1280 is that your device uses a “native portrait” screen (common on many tablets and 2-in-1 laptops). The hardware scans vertically by default, and you need to tell the software to rotate the output.

On antiX, the easiest way to fix this permanently is using ARandR.
This procedure is exactly the same whether you are using X11 or the new Xlibre server.

1. Adjust the orientation:
* Go to: Control Center > Session > Set screen resolution (ARandR).
* In the ARandR menu, go to: Outputs > Select your display (e.g., eDP-1 or DSI-1) > Orientation.
* Select Right (or Left, depending on your hardware). You will see the rectangle flip to a horizontal layout (1280×800).
* Click the Apply icon (the green checkmark) to test it.

2. Make it permanent:
* In the ARandR menu, go to: Layout > Save As.
* Navigate to the folder: /home/your_username/.screenlayout/
* Save the file as [default.sh] (overwrite the existing one).

By naming it default.sh, antiX will automatically execute this script and apply your 1280×800 resolution every time you log in.

Best,
Wallon
