As Patrick pointed out, this is clearly not an NVidia device. You can
find out which driver is actually handling it, by running "lspci -v".
There will be a line with "Kernel driver in use:".
"lspci -v" gives me the following output:
00:0f.0 VGA compatible controller: VMware SVGA II Adapter (prog-if 00
[VGA controller])
Subsystem: VMware SVGA II Adapter
Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 64, IRQ 16

Capabilities: <access denied>
Kernel driver in use: vmwgfx
Kernel modules: vmwgfx
This output is under Wayland. I have previously installed the nvidia
proprietary driver from Negativo17 via dkms, and from what I can see
from the Xorg log, Xorg is loading that driver and the corresponding glx
module just before the message that Xorg can't find any display devices
to use.
I also checked the xorg.conf file and it specifies to use the nvidia
driver, should I change it to the above driver or is the above driver
unique to Wayland?
