When you think Wayland is being used by accident, please run:
xrandr > newxrandr.txt
and send us the file 'newxrandr.txt'.
Also, the correct setting to disable Wayland in /etc/gdm3/custom.conf
is:
WaylandEnable=false
and is not:
WaylandEnabled=False

Title:
System appears to use wayland despite my having Wayland Enable set to
false.
Status in gdm3 package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
1. Ubuntu 18.10
2. xorg:
Installed: 1:7.7+19ubuntu8
Version table:
*** 1:7.7+19ubuntu8 500
500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu cosmic/main amd64 Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
Basically, when I rebooted the computer, the graphics were scrambled
and the system behaved as it did when wayland was enabled despite the
.conf file saying "WaylandEnabled=False", and that line being
uncommented.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Edit the .conf file to uncomment "WaylandEnabled"
2. Reboot the machine
3. Wait 2 days before booting it back up
4. Notice the machine is using Wayland despite the conf file specifying
otherwise.
Expected Results:
Machine runs with the behavior of Xorg.
Actual Results:
Machine appears to run Wayland.
Workaround: Edit the conf file again, and then reboot.
In respect to the diagnostics taken, this issue occurred before I took
the diagnostics and was able to use Firefox to write this report. This
