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:
00:0f.0 VGA compatible controller: VMware SVGA II Adapter (prog-if 00
[VGA controller])

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?

I've checked whether hardware acceleration is active by running
glxgears, which runs quite happily, so I'm assuming that hardware
acceleration, as set by the vm configuration, is actually active,
hence the nvidia driver is functioning, so I thought Xorg would be
able to work with the nvidia driver quite happily.
That doesn't tell you that there is hardware acceleration. There is a
software 3D renderer available. You can try running "glxinfo" to find
out what is being used. I'm not sure what that will show under Wayland.
