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:".
I've checked whether hardware acceleration is active by running
glxgears, which runs quite happily, so I'm assuming that hardware
acceleration, as set by the vm configuration, is actually active, hence
the nvidia driver is functioning, so I thought Xorg would be able to
work with the nvidia driver quite happily.
That doesn't tell you that there is hardware acceleration. There is a
software 3D renderer available. You can try running "glxinfo" to find
out what is being used. I'm not sure what that will show under Wayland.
