Maybe you could explain your top-level use case for this, and the general system architecture (which relevant programs are running and what their responsibilities are)? Quite likely the solution will start by removing Xwayland from the equation, and to have the compositor you use to automatically apply that rotation when needed, but how to achieve that depends on your use case. Can the compositor do it all on its own, does the client need to synchronise to the orientation change, does the client need to drive the orientation change, etc. Also sounds like this might not be a normal desktop system you are working on, which means you have more options on how to design this than on normal desktop systems with arbitrary applications.

Client-driven orientation change in Weston
Hi, I am asking this because I saw the following from Pekka Paalanen in another thread: > [...] Can the compositor do it all on its own, does the client need to synchronise to the orientation change, does the client need to drive the orientation change, etc. In Weston I am currently controlling the orientation via transform=xxx in the .ini file. Is it possible to drive this change dynamically from the client instead? BR, Guillermo Rodriguez Garcia guille.rodrig...@gmail.com

It is, we have a sort-of working WIP for it, with the help of a private protocol [1]. With that there's also a simple client that can request an output rotation, interactively, as well as using an accelerometer that detects an orientation change and uses that protocol to signal it. More details could be find at [2]. Note, that is still need of a polish, but should work with regular wayland clients.
