I don't currently use Wayland as I'm on KDE, but I have

it in F33 under Gnome. My hardware is of a similar age, i.e. the mobo

RPMfusion driver. It all worked fine. I sincerely hope it will continue
to work under F34 when Wayland is supposed to be supported for KDE.
Well, today there was an update to the kernel. And since I've not done this in a
while and
since the OP is asking about Wayland and said he got a black screen with KDE I figured
I'd give it a try what with being a KDE user.
I only ran it for about 10 minutes as my time was needed elsewhere. I have a GeForce GTX
660
card and I'm running the 465.24.02-2 packaged by rpmfusion which was released a couple
of
days ago.
So far I only noticed a few hiccups.
1. I have some shortcuts defined and not all window placements were correct. In
particular
konsole didn't start where I wanted it to and it didn't appear in all the
workspaces as it should.
2. Even though the font size in konsole was the same as with Xorg they appear smaller
under Wayland.
3. Redshift doesn't work, but isn't expected to. But, neither does KDE's
NightLight which is
suppose to work on Wayland.
I may try more tomorrow, but it wasn't a disaster for me as it has been in the past.
F33 was a clean install of Fedora Workstation, so I presume
that's
where Wayland came from. If the OP installed the KDE spin it may not
have been installed by default.
If his HW requires the 390xx or 340xx series drivers then he is pretty much out of luck.
