      @captsi HDMI-A-2 is probably because you plugged into 2. Glad it helped you though.

        I had to use wayland-0 and HDMI-A-2

        wayland is the software screen interface,
        HDMI- is the hardware screen interface

          Works great, but when the monitor switches back on, chromium does not start maximized and shows the infobar, both of which are managed in the [autostart] section of wayfire.ini. Is there a way to get the MM display back just as when the Pi launches fresh?

              For me I needed to use wayland-0 on a RPI5 using the ribbon-display cable.
              From the wlr-randr i got this

              DSI-1 “(null) (null) (DSI-1)”
              Physical size: 154x86 mm
              Enabled: yes
              Modes:
              800x480 px, 60.028999 Hz (preferred, current)
              Position: 368,332
              Transform: 90
              Scale: 1.000000

              So I used DSI-1 instead of HDMI.
              Also I removed the --mode information since i got something like “Mode 800x480 not recognized”, but apparently my display defaults to that.

                @mumblebaj Course, I just switched back to X11 for now. 🙃

                  @langejos I am assuming you ran wlr-randr prior to creating the scripts to obtain your mirrors current display settings and then using that as input in the mon.sh?

                    Hello all and thank you for all the suggestions. I apologize as I never got followup notifications of your responses.

                    I ended up reverting back to the original desktop as I did not feel like fighting to change everything.

                    Again, thank you all for your time and help.

                      @sdetweil Yes, I did! I tried switching to x-11 and adjusting all parameters, but ended up switching back to wayland which works fine with a scheduled shut-down in the evening. Thank you once again for taking the time to lead me through this!
