Isn't wlr-xrandr only works on wlroots based compositors and will not work on most popular Wayland compositors such as KWin and Mutter? |
I'm not entirely sure. I don't use linux as a daily, but wanted to get some example in for wayland. According to the manpage on Debian (and other sources), it says it can manage outputs of a Wayland compositor. https://manpages.debian.org/testing/wlr-randr/wlr-randr.1.en.html |

Something that might be useful, but lutris has an implementation to do resolution switching for gnome/mutter X11/Wayland https://github.com/lutris/lutris/blob/27cb82afcc80685b3df6fb602986e10f588fd598/lutris/game.py#L859 |
Well, indeed it's only supported on wlroots-based compositors which Mutter and KWin aren't, it's even said in description for this utility. Unfortunately, there's no protocol in Wayland for screen managements, so every compositor implementing it themselves. |
@OlegAckbar yes, I should have read the entire description. What's your suggestion then... to remove this example or add additional notes to it? |
