MM current version on Raspberry Pi 5 cannot turn off monitor

@jbat66 all good mate. I’m likely in a different geographic region to you. But anyway it was an issue that someone in GitHub that resolved for me so I can’t really take credit. I would point you to the GitHub but it was quite awhile back hence I can’t find the link anymore, therefore I went into my txt file and gave you guys the code.

@jbat66 I know this thread isn’t about getting MMM-Remote-Control to update with this but I was curious if you know how I could go about that.

@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 :)
