In most of the laptops with additional graphics cards I don't believe the intel card is even going to be wired to the display at all. Graphics cards own the display, there is no wiring that lets you switch from one to the other unless you have a desktop and can move the cable from one port to the other. On mine I can direct ffmpeg to use the encoder processor on the intel card (this laptop nvidia I have does not have nvenc), but otherwise it is unlikely to be wired to anything and just happens to be there because it is built into the intel chipset that the laptop is otherwise usig You should be able to google wayland and figure out where the logs are being put (may be in journald), but I don't believe there is even an intentional way to get the intel chipset to display on anything (unless one would take apart the laptop and do some soldering to the unconnected intel wires.
