Now reboot.
If you want to change it back to landscape, un-comment the first line and comment out the second line.
If you rotate the display on the TFT, you will also need to rotate the touchscreen.
If you havent already done so, install xinput.
Open up the X init script
And add these lines;
DISPLAY=:0 xinput --set-prop 'ADS7846 Touchscreen' 'Evdev Axes Swap' 1 DISPLAY=:0 xinput --set-prop 'ADS7846 Touchscreen' 'Evdev Axis Inversion' 1 1

. /etc/X11/Xsession

Evdev Axes Swap
Swap X & Y
1 for yes and 0 for no
Evdev Axis Inversion
Swap the direction on the X or Y plane.
1 for yes and 0 for no. A number is needed for each plane
You may also need to re-calibrate the touch screen for X windows. This can be done by deleting the file below and then rebooting;
