I'm beginning to think with the poor adoption rates still after all these years, maybe Wayland was just shit all along, I mean it's the only explanation I can think of for why I'm still not using it, despite having wanted to use it since like 2016.
I mean this is tech from 2008, it's already fucking old by this point maybe canonical and the rest of 'em who tried to make their own display servers had the right idea all along...Last edited by rabcor; 18 December 2020, 08:53 AM.

In Gnome 3 go to Settings -> Displays.
There you can change:
Orientation
Resolution
Refresh rate
Scale
...
all according to the capabilities of your monitor.
Similar in KDE.
If your DE/DM does not support wayland, use XRANDR (Xorg/X11 specific extension) as you will be using X11 anyway

That is the forum where the people who create the code for the main desktops talk about what is needed and how to do it in the best way. And AFTER they all decided that, is then when they start coding.
But maybe you think that the best way of doing it is to just let each party implement their own vision, and hope that, magically, all of them end being interoperable.

So, what is exactly the replacement for XRANDR in Wayland to easily make CUSTOM Resolutions ? No ? Guess i will stick with X for "some" more time then...
There is already wlrandr to fulfil your needs communicating with various compositors over a standard interface

And now today, there is not really any reason left to not use a modern Desktop with a nice stable fast wayland display server.

Wayland is a protocol, like X11. Xrandr is a tool for Xorg, a implementation of X11, like Mutter, Kwin, wlroots and other on Wayland.

I have a finicky display that I need to convince to operate at my desired refresh rate and blanking intervals, so I recognize how useful xrandr is. Probably something similar should be standardized for compositor configuration protocols even if you don't see it as a high priority.
Back in the days some vendors provided video modes files for windows (XP and pre era) as an update to set "non-standard" resolutions/refresh
I understand the issue and I feel the pain of ppl still in that situation.
I would assume though that with modern LCD flat-pannels the issue is long gone (at least for the large majority).
Note that messing with modelines/video modes was and is a dangerous thing -- a lot of CRT went into the waste ...
Also a lot of work has gone into Xorg to automatically set the monitor preferred/standard refresh and resolution
Even Xfree86 version 4 was already providing some automatic detection of modes:
