Advanced users • Forcing a Desktop Screen Resolution, on Raspberry Pi OS, using Wayland

Hello all,

I'm currently away from home with a Pi 5 and a I'm having issues.

Seems my video connection isn't 100% and it's trying to run at 1278x768 (I think, it only shows up for a moment!), which the TV doesn't like!

I can't see the GUI but I can get a Shell connection, through a series of hops and the internet.

So I tried adding a "video=" statement to the config.txt in the /boot/firmware folder. This worked to the extent the boot console showed up! The desktop didn't change (which I realise wasn't going to happen!)

I tried the "WAYLAND_DISPLAY="wayland-1" wlr-randr --output <OUTPUTNAME> --mode <WIDTH>x<HEIGHT>@<REFRESHRATE>Hz" command but nothing seemed to change, although no error messages were shown.

I've also tried editing the ~/.config/wayfire.ini file of the user I have it booting into, again no change right away (wasn't expecting one) and nothing after a reboot.

I've tried on the "HDMI-A-1" Output name, as that's what showed up listing the screen resolutions (using just the wlr-randr command) so I'm hoping I've got that part right.
(With HDMI-A-1 being the port closest to the USB C power connection, is my assumption)

Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Cheers,
Ben
