Description

NVIDIA documentation is missing crucial steps to setting up dracut modules and modprobe configuration for wayland to function properly.
These steps should be added:

Add "options nvidia-drm modeset=1" to /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia.conf
Add "add_drivers+=" nvidia nvidia_modeset nvidia_drm nvidia_uvm "
Execute sudo dracut -f
reboot

Research direction

Start by locating the NVIDIA and Wayland setup page in the void-docs mdBook source, then compare its instructions with the missing dracut and modprobe steps listed in the issue. Done means the documentation includes the NVIDIA modeset configuration, dracut module setup, rebuild command, and reboot step.
