Excellent.
Sounds like GDM's KMS detection needs improving. Finding a KMS device is
not sufficient for choosing Wayland over Xorg. GDM should be checking
for a monitor plugged into the KMS device too. And if that's not found
then fall back to Xorg.
Note that we can't simply make 'nomodeset' installed by default with
Nvidia because that would break laptops. Laptops generally have their
Intel GPU wired to the screen and the Nvidia GPU logically separate. But
the fix to GDM I have suggested should work for all cases.
