suddenly the screen can't turn on

@MyMirror I got the same issue using FKMS with “vcgencmd display_power 1” command, it got blank screen after 2 seconds of showing the object on the monitor

Hmm, you are on Bookworm, right?

I was just trying to get a PIR Sensor running to toggle the display on Pi5 and this was the way to go on a fresh OS install, maybe it´ll help you out too

WAYLAND_DISPLAY=“wayland-1” wlr-randr --output HDMI-A-1 --off
WAYLAND_DISPLAY=“wayland-1” wlr-randr --output HDMI-A-1 --on

If you monitor turns back on by itself after ~10 secs add vc4.force_hotplug=1 (1=hmdi1 / 2=hdmi2 / 3=both) to the end of your /boot/firmware/cmdline.txt

if you´re running rotated you can add that as --transform 90 (more options see wlr-randr --help)

vcgencmd, xrandr and xset were not working anymore for me

@schris88 only pi4 or 5 will have Wayland display manager.

pi3 is still on x11

@lkthomas yes @schris88 gave you a solution that you can’t use.
