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:

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?
The driver has nothing to do with Wayland as such. Clearly an Nvidia
driver isn't going to work with a non-Nvidia GPU, which is what your VM
has. If you're loading the Nvidia driver anyway, this may be the source
of the problem. Remove the Nvidia stuff and try again.
Kernel driver in use: vmwgfx
vmwgfx is VMWare guest GL driver
If it were nVidia it would read
Kernel driver in use: nvidia
I have tried removing the nvidia entries from the device group in
xorg.conf, and, also specifying driver "vmware" instead of "nvidia",
and in both cases Gnome and KDE can be started with Xorg. In both
cases though they start with the wrong screen resolution relative to
the resolution that the vmware player is using. Gnome under Wayland is
capable of re-setting its resolution to match that of the vmware
player when maximizing the player, but KDE is not capable of doing so
under Wayland. I might have to play around with the resolution
configuration parameters to try to get Xorg to set its resolution to
match vmware's.
Putting the following section in xorg.conf caused Gnome under Xorg to
start with the resolution of the Maximized vmware player, which was
1600x844, as desired. KDE did not start at the resolution of 1600x844,
instead starting at 640x480, but the display configuration facility
including 1600x844 as one of the resolutions it now provided, which then
switched KDE into the desired resolution.
