I’m using EndeavourOS with KDE.

The display is correctly oriented when logged in but it doesn’t rotate correctly when I’m logged out.

EDIT: corrected the post. This happens when logged out, locking the screen has it displayed correctly.

    I’ve never needed any of those things.

    I do need to change monitor configurations.

    I once had an old TV that I used as a monitor that had 1027p worth of pixels instead of 1080p. Auto detection tools said it was 1080p. With xrandr I was able to modify the output to 1027p so I didn’t lose the edges of the display to the TV’s broken forced overscan design. Could you do that with Wayland?

      Literally yes. And you don’t even need to know the exact pixel resolution of the TV.

      Edit: Here are the problems with you “Wayland isn’t good enough” people.

      First, you don’t use Wayland, so you don’t even know if it’s fixed whatever weird issue you encountered with it before or if it supports a niche use case, for example.

      Second, Wayland won’t get good enough for you until you start using it and reporting bugs. You think X11 was a bed of roses when it first started? Or do you think they bumped the version number 11 times for fun?

        Bingo. So many complaints I’ve seen about Wayland have been from Nvidia users who tried it three years ago when the driver support was behind fucked. I get Linux development moves slow sometimes but holy shit…

        Good to know that this has been implemented in your favorite DE! Considering how Wayland often implements things, it’s probably implemented on the DE-level, leading to a fractured configuration ecosystem. Being implemented in Wayland is different from being implemented in some of the DEs that use Wayland.

        edit: if I’m wrong about that, and it is implemented in Wayland itself, please continue to correct me!
