You will need to create an Xorg configuration file and an autostart script to set the resolution.

Version=1.0
Name=pixel
Exec=xrandr --output "default" --mode "1920x1088"
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Categories=
GenericName=
X-GNOME-Autostart-Phase=Initialization
X-KDE-autostart-phase=1
NoDisplay=true

Restart the system and the screen will automatically change to the landscape orientation.

Note

The configuration above will rotate your screen to landscape mode, you can also rotate to other modes by uncommenting the mode you want.
Please note that the resolution for landscape mode is 1920x1088, portrait mode is 1088x1920.

These screen configuration files will also affect the HDMI display, so you may have to remove them if the changes are undesired.

Please refer to Rotate Framebuffer Console.
