Compiling gdm3 without wayland isn't a fix. It's a workaround, and kind of pointless. It's pointless because the most common reason for using nvidia-drm.modeset=1 is to get Wayland support. I know there are other reasons for wanting nvidia-drm.modeset=1 such as avoiding tearing in PRIME setups. But mostly if people use modeset=1 it is to get Wayland support.

If we can't get a fix from Nvidia then some kind of workaround that runs Xorg as root (like comment #26) is probably the next best option.
