First, no proprietary driver will work for Wayland. For nvidia, you
need the complete Nouveau driver suite. You card belongs to one of the
best supported families in Nouveau, so the trick is to get all the
parts properly built and installed.

Second, you really need Mesa from git, no current releases carry the
necessary changes. This will also provide the Nouveau 3D driver.

If you get Wayland demos running, but you see bad rendering, the
problem is likely in cairo-gl. For now, you can use cairo commit
9bdfae6e218185d, or just disable Cairo GL support (you will lose
gears and wscreensaver demos).

Personally, I do not use Ubuntu.
