LXDE isn't installed in the last version of raspbian stretch
See original GitHub issueAs explained in this answer (https://raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/a/91371), the new version of raspbian 2018-11-13-raspbian-stretch.img
doesn’t contain LXDE. This implies that the autostart
file doesn’t exist anymore (or at least not in ~/.config/lxsession/
since it doesn’t exist), and so we can not modify the orientation of the screen, hide the mouse pointer, or disabling the screensaver.
Now, for the first point (orientation of the screen), the solution I found was to put this line in /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf
:
[SeatDefaults]
display-setup-script=xrandr --output HDMI-1 --rotate [left or right]
Do you have any ideas on how to solve the other issues?

@ishepard You’ll find it here : /etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE-pi/
I can confirm this behavior changed after Stretch release of Nov 2018 for the RPi, I currently dont know if ATB has the same issue with their images.
@MichMich Perhaps update Readme/installscript?
So, I solved the problem of not having the
autostart
file by adding these lines in/etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf
:The first one is for rotating the screen on the right, the second one is for deleting the black screen. So no need for the
autostart
file anymore.
