A way to debug X is that I start an X server (X -ac :0
), then an xterm (DISPLAY=:0 xterm
) and a WM on it (DISPLAY=:0 icewm
).
It is unthinkably useful is there is a display problem.
What can I do with wayland? I absolutely do not want a full gnome, I just want a terminal and a VM – and see from the error output, if anything is bad.
I would also miss dbus, if possible.

Wayland doesn't have a notion of a "clean display server", it's part of your desktop environment.
You could try running
mutter
directly from your Linux console (Ctrl + Alt + F2) though and then try to launch any graphical terminal emulator, e.g. gnome-terminal:Or
wayland-1
.
