Hmm, okay. Looking at the driver packaging sources, one difference I note from Fedora and openSUSE is that RPM Fusion's packaging includes a patch that turns on kernel modesetting by default. Since that patch (or equivalent) does not exist in openSUSE's NVIDIA driver packaging, can you check to see if you have "nvidia_drm.modeset=1" in your kernel boot arguments? You can check by reading /proc/cmdline. If it's not there, try modifying your kernel boot arguments in the grub configuration so that you have "nvidia_drm.modeset=1" in it. That may fix it for GNOME, since that will initialize NVIDIA's Direct Rendering Manager (DRM) support, which enables kernel modesetting.
That option wasn't enabled, so I enabled it and rebooted; still don't see the option in gdm to switch to Wayland. The output of cat /proc/cmdline is below: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-6.5.6-1-default root=UUID=a3a2a6c2-1701-406e- b823-6276b551890f splash=silent quiet security=apparmor nosimplefb=1 nvidia_drm.modeset=1 mitigations=auto -- Jim Henderson Please keep on-topic replies on the list so everyone benefits
