Having trouble with screen on and off? Here are some tips that could help

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?

@langejos switch back to x11 in raspi-config

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!

For users who are having issues with monitor on and monitor off and looking for a cron job to start their wayland setup. See my original post with updates.

@mumblebaj hey, do you know why my off job when i triggered it either manually or via the cron job, it turns the monitor off, but after a few seconds it turns it on immediately again…?

Hi @1a2a3a . Honestly, no idea. I remember seeing a few posts from people having that exact same issue. Maybe if you search the forum for related content you may find something. I have not had the same issue myself.
