Did you also have the screen rotation issue? Curious to know what's causing that.

The cause is just that the panel is mounted rotated on the device. It's supposed to be used in a tablet where the top is the short end and the side is the long end, opposite to a laptop.
Yes, I did, and the reason is super straightforward: It's a hardware portrait panel, mounted sideways.

Getting from zero to a fully working OS was a mild journey, but I'd do it again.

Somewhat common with Chuwi and GPD's netbook type devices. IIRC it's because they repurpose tablet screens
