Forcing specific resolution under Wayland

Hi
I have recently bought a KVM switch to use with some servers and a connected workstation, so that I can use one set of keyboard and mouse for all of them.
It is a simple cheap KVM-switch with VGA and USB.
First I installed Arch Linux in UEFI-mode. systemd-boot, Gnome (wayland not xorg), kernel 4.15.8 and xf86-video-nouveau drivers. I also installed xf86-video-intel to be sure.
The system is a X79-based system with 16GB ECC RAM and a Intel Xeon E5-2620 CPU and a Nvidia Geforce 210 GPU.
After installing Arch Linux, I noticed that I could not choose a screen resolution higher than 1024x768. I then tried to installed Antergos (with and without proprietary nvidia drivers) and got the same thing.
Lastly I downloaded a copy of Windows 10 64-bit and installed that. This did also not correctly set the native resolution of 1920x1080, but after installing the drivers, it allowed me to choose the resolution in settings.

How can I either get the system to either show all resolutions from 1024x768 to 2048x1536 or force it to run at 1920x1080 with the above configuration?
