How to change resolution and rotate the screen about cage HOT 8 CLOSED

@samuelexferri, do you consider this issue resolved now?

Debian manpages give some hints on how to use wlr-randr. If some Wayland environment variable are well set (especially WAYLAND_DISPLAY), you can just use wlr-randr with no parameter to know which mode / resolution is currently used for your monitor. Then, it is quite easy to modify it looking at manpages.

Is it supposed to be run with another service after the cage service?

@bhack, wlr-randr is a utility you can use manually and I don't think it is supposed to be used as a service. It communicates with the Wayland compositor, here Cage, through a well-defined protocol wlr output management.

On the other side, kanshi is a daemon to manage your preferred configurations according to plugged monitors for example. But I am not a user of this tool (right now).

Ok so if we want to autoconfigure at the boot we need to investigate that daemon.

@samuelexferri I'm trying to solve the same issue.
Setting WAYLAND_DISPLAY="wayland-1 wlr-randr --output HDMI-A-1 --transform 90" does not work for me.
Can you maybe share your solution?

@MayNiklas, don't you have a double quote issue in your command?

Sorry, this was a issue on my side when copying from my NixOS configuration.
I'm setting environment variables using the Nix language.

WAYLAND_DISPLAY = "wayland-1 ${pkgs.wlr-randr}/bin/wlr-randr --output HDMI-A-1 --transform 90";

is getting translated into the regular syntax.
