MM current version on Raspberry Pi 5 cannot turn off monitor

@devonian69 Do you mean just a normal update for the module?

Hey guys,

So how did you get this to work? vc4.force_hotplug ive added that to /boot/firmware/cmdline.txt

But now what?

Im running Raspbian on a Pi 5, so not sure if all of this is even for bookwork :(

Thanks

@liminal1 note that rapios on pi4 and 5 use a new display manager called Wayland.

so all the commands for display MGMT have changed. see the commands posted above.

or set the os back to x11. see the raspi-config command

I did try those commands, they are not working for me. Maybe I need more context for that (which is essentially what I was asking for :) Or I switch back to a slower and less efficient display model that negates having a Pi 5. Is that a correct asumption?

Maybe I wasn’t clear, but Im just asking if anyone does have it working on the Pi 5 with Bookworm. What did you use and how did you do it?

Thank you :)

@liminal1 the posts above say it was working on bookworm.

@liminal1 doesn’t matter 4 or 5. As long as bookworm wayland, it’s working fine. For what’s worth, I’m on a 5.

If I create that script and run it, it brings up a logon page :(

@liminal1 that makes no sense.

ctrl-alt-t on the desktop.

nothing login related there
