Early I've used this method to make screen off:

sleep 1 && xset dpms force off

... but now I get an issue:

X Error of failed request: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)
Major opcode of failed request: 147 (DPMS)
Minor opcode of failed request: 6 (DPMSForceLevel)
Serial number of failed request: 12
Current serial number in output stream: 14

The question is how to make it possible. For now I just need to switch to tty(n) and it works by default. Why I can't do this in wayland? And I read in some place that it is not yet possible... But my tty(n) is also in KMS mode (like wayland)... So how tty(n) can off screen? What you think?

And tnx for this project!

xset is an x tool, not a wayland tool. See #541
