> If you need modeset=1 for wayland, then why is there any effort to support
nvidia and wayland under gnome, since it won't work (or are only optimus
systems affected by this?)

I don't understand the question, sorry. The statement "it won't work" is
wrong. Wayland does work. This bug is about Xorg, not Wayland.

> So it looks like a gdm3 bug.

Yes I understand that's how it looks, but we have established the root
cause of this bug is in the Nvidia driver. Maybe we will be able to work
around it with some gdm3 change, but that's not where the root cause of
the problem is.

Other display managers are managing to work around the Nvidia driver bug
here because they run as root. gdm3 does not run as root because it is
trying to be more secure and avoid running as root. Calling this a gdm3
bug is probably wrong. I can reproduce the bug without gdm3.
