    ...
    MODULES=(battery)
    ...

### screen rotation during boot

For correct screen rotation during boot, add fbcon=rotate:1 to your bootloader config:

    /boot/loader/entries/arch.conf

    ...
    options root=/dev/mapper/crypt cryptdevice=UUID=000ccc23-4223-0ccc-4223-deadbeaf2342:btrfs rw fbcon=rotate:1
    ...

### wayland

The screen is on DSI-1 and 90° rotated, so you need to configure this:

    ~/.config/sway/config

    ...
    # configure display
    # get the names of your outputs by: swaymsg -t get_outputs
    output DSI-1 resolution 720x1280 transform 90
    ...
