(Get the code!)
Tim,
indeed, if KMS is enabled, gdm starts perfectly in wayland mode and you can use gnome-shell wayland session (glx is however broken). But if you would like to use gnome-shell Xorg session, then gnome-shell will crash, because apparently gdm starts xorg in rootless mode (I presume uid of user being logged in, which makes logically sense).
This is exactly the problem: enabling KMS by default would break gnome-shell xorg session.
Regrading logs. Could you maybe give me some hints for what should I look, because nothing looks suspicious.
It's pretty clear, that xorg is lacking some permissions for some resources, but the question is, which exactly.
