🎀 drm_connector_set_panel_orientation_with_quirk(9) 🎀

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual entry for drm_connecto...n_with_quirk(9) — yes the title got cut off, it's giving mysterious, but the full name is down in NAME and it ate. Pull up a chair, we're learning DRM connector panel orientation today 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

drm_connector_set_panel_orientation_with_quirk — sets the connector's panel_orientation after checking for quirks. literally that's the whole gig ✨

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int drm_connector_set_panel_orientation_with_quirk (struct drm_connector
*connector , enum drm_panel_orientation panel_orientation , int width ,
int height );

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

  • connector — the connector whose panel-orientation property you're init-ing. yes, that connector 🫶
  • panel_orientation — the drm_panel_orientation value you wanna set
  • width — width in pixels of the panel, used for panel quirk detection 👀
  • height — height in pixels of the panel, used for panel quirk detection 👀

⭐ DESCRIPTION ⭐

So it's exactly like drm_connector_set_panel_orientation, no cap — except it also checks for platform specific (e.g. DMI based) quirks that override the panel_orientation you passed in. so like… you hand it your vibe, and the platform may be like "mm, actually no" and swap it 🙈 that's the quirk check, that's the whole point, iconic behavior honestly.

💀 RETURN 💀

Zero on success, negative errno on failure. simple. clean. periodt 💅

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

okay this list is long long, drink some water first 🍓 — it's all the sibling functions and friends from ./drivers/gpu/drm/drm_connector.c, plus the overview:

🫶 yes, standard connector properties(9) really is in there twice. I didn't do that, the original did. we respect the source material.

🧚 that's a wrap, bestie 🧚

This lil beauty lives in ./drivers/gpu/drm and the version is stamped October 2026 — so go forth, set that panel_orientation, and let the quirks do their thing. slay 💜✨
