Hi,<br>
<br>
there is no equivalent of xrandr on Wayland. Each display server might<br>
have something similar of their own or not. Regardless, each display<br>
server would need to specifically implement an output capturing feature,<br>
e.g. via Pipewire.<br>
<br>
Sorry, you cannot hack this feature up with third party tools under the<br>
Wayland architecture, because there is no such thing as "the Wayland<br>
display server" common to all.<br>
<br>
In Wayland architecture, the display server, the compositor, and the<br>
window manager are all one in the same process, but the pieces could<br>
come from various libraries.<br>
<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
