Short version:
Can I set Cinnamon, or X11, that 'normal' for my touchscreen is actually 90° counterclockwise, ensuring this is not forgotten after a rotation?
Could I also set this system wide, including the terminal?
Background:
I have a 1Netbook One Mix Yoga 3s running Manjaro Cinnamon.
The device is a small mini convertible netbook with tablet mode.
They manufacturer attached an 8.4'' screen in such a way, that "normal" orientation is actually rotated left 90°, aka portrait mode is default for this device.
It has an built-in accelerometer to adjust the screen orientation when the device is held in portrait mode or folded.
Usage scenario
For classical keyboard usage, the interface rendering needs to be rotated 90° counterclockwise, for example via xrandr -o 1 or Cinnamon's GUI Display setting "Counterclockwise".
The problem
Using Cinnamon's "Display" settings GUI enables correct rotation after the user logs in, but it forgets this as desired setting after a rotation occurred.
When rotating the device back horizontally, after using using the Netbook in portrait mode, the display is rendered upside down, aka rotated 90° clockwise.
Can I set sd-xrandr or xrandr to save 90° counterclockwise as "normal" or "0"? Because setting this in an X11 config files only works for logging in and before rotating for the first time, afterwards Cinnamon forgets "Counterclockwise" - With auto rotation set, xrandr -o 1 is getting ignored. Just xrandr raises another problem:
Another complication - Touchscreen
There's a touchscreen, too. This needs proper rotation as well, which also doesn't seem to work when using just xrandr -o 1 and not Cinnamon's GUI based rotation setting.
