Are you using Gnome or KDE? (or something else). I ask this as my KDE with the packaged Nvidia 535 drivers is unable to run Wayland. So for now I use X11 with KDE.
It is my understanding that KDE will work with Wayland when using the Nvidia stable version 560.35.03 however this version has yet to be packaged for/by Debian. I look forward to when this version (or later) has been packaged. https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/drivers/details/230918/ Linux x64 (AMD64/EM64T) Display Driver 560.35.03 | Linux 64-bit Drivers Home > Linux x64 (AMD64/EM64T) Display Driver George.
