Hello,
I’ve jumped back to Tumbleweed after a month or so of distrohopping, so this is on a fresh install. However, for some reason on Tumbleweed KDE, Wayland seems to not properly utilize my Nvidia GPU. X11 has no problem. For Wayland, when I log in it does not recognize my second monitor, and my primary monitor’s resolution is set very low, instead of its normal ultrawide resolution of 3440x1440.
I tried adding nvidia_drm.modeset=1 to my Kernel paramters, but that just resulted in Tumbleweed giving an error after grub about not being able to load the Nvidia driver (or something along those lines, can pull message again if needed) and then being forced to boot into TTY.
Edit: Also to add, when I run cat /sys/module/nvidia_drm/parameters/modeset from the Wayland session, it returns N. The Arch wiki (NVIDIA - ArchWiki) makes it out like this should return Y, but I’m not sure how to proceed from that discrepancy at this point. It returns N in both X11 and Wayland, for what that is worth.
Some relevant logs from within the Wayland session:
