Cannot run Wayland on nVidia at all
  • I'm guessing you forgot to add DRM kernel mode setting. What you need to do is create /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia.conf, and add

    options		nvidia_drm	modeset=1
    blacklist	nouveau
    

    then edit /etc/mkinitcpio.conf to have

    MODULES=(nvidia nvidia_modeset nvidia_uvm nvidia_drm)
    

    and ensure /etc/mkinitcpio.conf also has the modconf hook

    HOOKS=(... modconf ...)
    

    then run mkinitcpio -P, restart, and enjoy Wayland.
