xrandr (X11), Wayland xrandr alternative

[Slade Watkins]

Hey there,
Anyone know of an alternative to xrandr on Wayland that has proper Colorspace 
and Broadcast RGB (Full) support? I want to 
use Wayland (and get off of X.Org) for better trackpad gesture support but 
am out of luck due to not having something that works with it.

If not, then I'm fine sticking with X11 for xrandr. I've been having trouble
figuring out how to get my two xrandr commands to run at startup in GNOME 41.
On Ubuntu, the distro I use on my desktop, there's just a 'Startup 
Applications' app that I can add those commands and my DE will run them when I log
in.
Can't seem to find anything like that on Fedora (GNOME Tweaks won't work, since
that doesn't allow me to specify the command).

If it helps, the two commands I configure to run at startup are:
$ xrandr --output HDMI-1 --set "Broadcast RGB" "Full"
$ xrandr --output HDMI-1 --set "Colorspace" "XVYCC_709"

These two commands fix my primary monitor so it displays correctly running 
off of my HDMI port. Otherwise black turns into a bright grey, and colors 
look washed out.

I'd love to use Fedora and migrate off of Ubuntu fully, since it meets my 
needs better, but I absolutely need to be able to run those commands 
automatically at startup. Just having trouble figuring that out.

Any help to lead me in the right direction is appreciated!

Thank you,
              -slade

Add them to ~/.bashrc

Jeff,

My understanding is that ~/.bashrc runs before login, and not when GNOME 
is launched. I'm probably wrong but that's what some resources online are 
stating... I've also tried adding things into that file and it hasn't worked,
which supports that theory.

Since Fedora separates GNOME on Wayland and GNOME on XOrg on the login 
screen, when selecting a DE, I need something akin to what Ubuntu does 
with the GNOME 'Startup Applications' app. Whether that's a GUI or 
something I do in Terminal.

I'm relatively "new" to GNU/Linux, per se. Been several years since I've

actually touched it. I grew up on it but I've regularly used Windows/macOS 
since.

I guess what I'm saying is I need a lot more handholding, haha.

Thanks,

sure what happened there.

Put those commands in a shell script and create a .desktop file for it. 
  Put the desktop file in .local/share/applications.  Then you can use 
the Gnome tweak tool to add it to the startup list or put the desktop 
directly in .config/autostart.
