Hi.
I have attached a Rapsberry Pi Touchscreen to a Pi B+, which has a screen surround/ stand fitted and have come across a couple of problems I can’t seem to sort out:
One: Because of the need to align the boards so that the power socket is at the top, I have had to get the screen to rotate through 180 degrees, so it isn’t upside down.
Whilst I can use Sybu remote OK, touch controls and mouse pointer are still appearing to interact with the screen as if it was in the non-rotated position (so, for example, if I touch the screen 1" in from the lower left hand corner, the mouse pointer will appear 1" in from the upper right-hand corner). This is the case whether I use the touch screen or the mouse.
Two: I get an error message saying that the CEC adapter can’t be initialised (although the screen seems to work OK apart from the issues above).
I’ve searched through the various settings but am unable to see anything that would resolve the above issues.
Whilst I can highlight “New Entry”, nothing happens when I click on it (by whatever means). As far as I know, I am a Master User (I assume that’s the same as Root), so can’t add the line at the moment.
Oddly, after a reboot, the mouse pointer seems OK, location-wise - it’s just the touchscreen that’s 180 degrees out.
The CEC error will be because there is no CEC (or IR remote receiver in the scene.
For the rotation issue - make sure that you remove whatever elapse you did to only have the lcd_remote setting.
I can repeat the CEC error - and can stop it by disabling CEC peripheral.

The original poster is reporting that they are getting a popup notification saying the CEC adaptor can’t be initialised. This is not normal whether or not there is a CEC device attached.
Seeing CEC errors in a debug log with no CEC device attached - that’s completely different.
The original poster needs to provide debug logs so we can check the versions of Kodi and libcec match.
I’m happy to submit the log but it runs to 96 pages. I assume an extract is sufficient but which parts of the logfile contain the necessary information, please? (I can’t see how I can attach the log, anyway). I assume the file is the one called uploadlog.txt.
Thanks.
PS Further to my original post, I now have the screen correctly displayed - thanks for the suggestions.
BTW, not sure if it’s in any way related but wireless network device works most, but not all of the time - I had it connect an ethernet cable to upload the file.

“lcd_rotate=2” is necessary for the official Raspberry Pi 7" Display because of the position of the power/HDMI/line-out sockets on the RPi B+/2B/3. In origin rotation the plugs are positioned downwards. Because of the big plugs and stiff cables the display overturns.
Please add an option in “Pi Config” to enable “lcd_rotate=2”.
I searched for half an hour to find this thread with the correct option syntax. Please add a simple button to allow any newbie to turn the display. Or ask in the setup for the display rotation.
This would require code to detect whether a display is attached.
Then you would need the user to connect the display before they ever install OSMC so the option is displayed in Setup.
It’s quite simple to add this option, so I’m happy to accept a PR for this to My OSMC, but as My OSMC is now primarily in a maintenance only mode until My OSMC 2.0, I won’t add this myself.
