How to turn off specific display on command line with wayland
Previously I used a linux system which didn't use Wayland and I was able to control my displays through the xrandr program. So to turn off my third display I used this command:
$ xrandr --output DP-1 --off
But now with Wayland this no longer works even if I use the new display names:
$ xrandr
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 5760 x 1200, maximum 8192 x 8192
XWAYLAND0 connected 1920x1200+1920+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 520mm x 320mm
1920x1200 59.88*+
XWAYLAND1 connected 1920x1080+0+120 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 380mm x 210mm
1920x1080 59.96*+
XWAYLAND2 connected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
1920x1080 59.96 +
$ xrandr --output XWAYLAND2 --off
<nothing happens>
So is there a way to turn displays on and off on the command line when Wayland is used? I know I can control this in the gnome settings but I need to do it on the command line. So if there is some gsettings command to achieve this then this is also fine.
