reTerminal touch input needs rotation with xinput command. Unable to get command to auto-start on boot

As the title suggests, I need to rotate the touch input on the DSI display.

I am successful in rotating the input with

xinput set-prop ‘seeed-tp’ ‘Coordinate Transformation Matrix’ 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1

Entered into the terminal.

I have tried:

sudo crontab -e

and adding

@reboot /bin/sleep 120; /usr/bin/xinput set-prop 'seeed-tp' 'Coordinate Transformation Matrix' 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1

to the end and this does not work. I have to open terminal and type it in.

I have tried:

sudo nano /etc/rc.local

and making the end look iike this:

fi
/usr/bin/xinput set-prop ‘seeed-tp’ '‘Coordinate Transformation Matrix’ 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1
exit 0

this does not work.

I have tried:

sudo nano /home/pi/.bashrc

and adding
fi
fi

sudo xinput set-prop ‘seeed-tp’ ‘Coordinate Transformation Matrix’ 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 >

to the end of that file. This does not work.

I don’t know what to do. Any help would be appreciated.

I noticed the same on my system, but need a different transformation matrix:
/usr/bin/xinput set-prop 'seeed-tp' 'Coordinate Transformation Matrix' 0 1 0 -1 0 1 0 0 1

In my case, I do a auto-login to the pi user and it works by adding the following to the crontab of the pi user (not the root user as you did, so no edit of crontab with sudo):

@reboot /bin/sleep 5; DISPLAY=:0 /usr/bin/xinput set-prop 'seeed-tp' 'Coordinate Transformation Matrix' 0 1 0 -1 0 1 0 0 1

Ill have to try that out when I get a chance to mess with it again.

I first have to backup my current 32bit install.

Aside from that Issue, I have noticed that using Pithos (and maybe any audio at all) over bluetooth, “skips” and “pops” like a CD, but that issue is not present in the 32bit version.

Another odd thing to work out.
