<pre>Hi,
adding custom video modes is a feature of your particular Wayland display
server.
All configuration is up to each Wayland display server individually. They could
agree on a mutual configuration standard, but that would be out of scope for
Wayland as understood by the bugzilla product/component in this bug.
Loading an EDID file through the kernel seems like a good solution to me, so it
might be worth figuring out why it stopped working.
If you want to make a configuration with your display server, please consult
your specific display server documentation.
FWIW, for years people have come up once in a while suggesting that Wayland
should replicate X11 RandR, but it has never gained enough traction with the
major desktop projects to become a serious proposal. Sorry.
I think two major counter-arguments are: a) access control, we do not want
arbitrary applications changing video modes at will, and b) once the Wayland
display server accepts connections so that an app could program a video mode,
the server has already initialized the display hardware so it's too late and
will lead to glitchy user experience. Drafting such an interface would also be
a considerable amount of work for a feature that most big desktop environments
already implement by some other means.</pre>
