very basic, you’ve bought the wrong screen in combination with the hardware and operating system. Volumio is a headless (no monitor, no keyboard, no mouse) console application.
See it like this. You bought yourself a boat (screen) while you live in the desert. (hardware/OS). Both are fine, but you won’t be able to sail.
that s right. I bought a pi4 and it will be better than pc for screen…
in combination with Volumio, sure. you can simply make use of teh plugin from gvolt. Touch Display.
Rotation is a standard x86 kiosk option, works fine here with
sudo xrandr -d :0 -o left (or right, whatever)
You can also create an xorg configuration which will make it fix for startup.
Should be plenty of people here to help with that.
that did the trick, we tried the -display option… thanks!
I’ll go the easy way 
Sort out which command gives you the correct output. Make sure if the first doesn’t give you the desired result, always perform sudo xrandr -d :0 -o normal first, before running the next command.
sudo xrandr -d :0 -o right
sudo xrandr -d :0 -o inverted
sudo xrandr -d :0 -o left
sudo xrandr -d :0 -o normal
then execute the following command:
sudo nano /etc/X11/Xsession.d/45custom_xrandr-settings
copy the command that gave the correct result from above test
Press CTRL+O, CTRL+X
sudo reboot
Screen should be in the correct layout.
thank you so much i will try it and let you know
Special thanks to gkkpch , as I would have never expect to use -d as the xrandr manual says to use -display, not -d
--display would have been correct, as with a lot of parameters. -- for the verbose param name, - for the shortcut
we did, sudo xrandr --display :0 … , but we kept getting “can’t open display”
really? I don’t believe that at all. Try
sudo xrandr --display :0 -o left
I don’t read a lot here anymore (and comment even less), must have missed your rotate version.
Play now plugin is amazing for x86, it allowed change of all screen text and picture options
wtf,…
I have to admit I did a fresh install today as I tweaked to much settings, loading a desktop over volumio. for what ever reason, the command don’t error out. Even the command sudo xrandr --display :0 --query, didn’t work yesterday.
And we didn’t get to the rotate part yesterday, first tried to get info on what was connected where, in case we needed to make a xorg.conf.
You see, we can’t miss your support.
Not sure what I like most, the plugin or the cover 
Wheaten loves blonds…jane blonds…
I was referring to the album title???
And after 10 minutes… I get the joke. pfffffff
But for sure I’m not going to shake her.
No thank you, I’ll stick to reading once-in-a-while and comment only when it might be useful
Wrong screen size to judge properly 
On a serious note: there is a CAPPEDRES parameter in /opt/volumiokiosk.sh (and the corresponding handling of it), which could perhaps be used for a custom screen size.
I introduced and tested it to reduce a macbook screen to 1920x1080, it can also be used to limit a 4K TV screen for it to become reasonable.
Whether this will also work with this 1980x480 screen to avoid sort of warped images?? Worth a try.
Just my my last 2 cents worth, problem appears to be solved.
thanks for the info, appriciated
Was looking at it, but focused on openbox-session & /usr/bin/chromium, to see if there where options to rotate the kiosk.
But indeed, problems are solved.
