Public bug reported:
HP Elitebook Folio 9470m. This system is not a tablet or convertible,
and does not have a touchscreen.
If the laptop is sitting flat during boot, the display orientation is
normal.
If the laptop is not sitting flat during boot, or if it is moved out of
flat, the display rotates and the orientation it rotates to is inverted
upside-down.
This happens at the login screen as well as after login.
This laptop should really never have the screen rotate in the first
place, as it's not a tablet or convertible, but in the event that
rotation is happening it shouldn't be upside-down.
I have locked the rotation in gnome shell and in the login screen using the
rotation lock button in the respective system menus. It would be nice if there
was a system-wide setting & this didn't need to be done on a per-user basis.
This gsettings command will also lock the gnome-shell rotation:
gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.peripherals.touchscreen
orientation-lock true
However the above key doesn't affect the login screen, which has its own
separate rotation button in its own version of the system menu.
