>From the little I know about Nividia nuances the symptom of a black screen points to KMS mode setting missing in the kernel. Also nvidia_drm.modeset should be able to load without errors, or the wayland compositor will not work. Also, I recall reading somewhere Nvidia does not like monitors with different resolutions and refresh rates, but I don't know if there is any workaround to this. TBH I moved away from Xorg because it was getting worse and worse over time with my graphics. Wayland was a bit unstable on my systems in the beginning, but over time it has improved significantly.
