+ = Configuring GNOME to use Xorg

  

- To run GNOME in X11, click the gear icon on the Fedora log in screen and select *GNOME on Xorg*, or complete the following steps:

+ At the login screen, select the "gear" icon and select *GNOME on Xorg*.

+ Once login is completed the X11 windowing system will be in use, as can be seen by returning to *Settings* > *About*. This change will persist unless changed back at the login screen.

- == Procedure

+ == Changing the default GNOME session via configuration file

  

- . Open `/etc/gdm/custom.conf` and uncomment `WaylandEnable=false`.

+ As an alternative, this change can be made by editing a configuration file `/etc/gdm/custom.conf`.

+ 

+ . Open `/etc/gdm/custom.conf` and uncomment the line:

+ 

+   WaylandEnable=false

  

  . Add the following line to the `[daemon]` section:

  

    DefaultSession=gnome-xorg.desktop

  

  . Save the `custom.conf` file.

+ 

+ . Logout or reboot to enter the new session.

+ 

+ [NOTE]

+ ====

+ With the above changes applied, the option to set the GNOME session to use Wayland will actually be removed from the "gear icon" menu on the login screen.

+ Wayland is the default GNOME display server, and has been the default in Fedora since Fedora 25. However, users may still need to use the older Xorg display server for compatibility reasons.

  

- Wayland is the default GNOME display server. If GNOME freezes, or some applications do not function correctly in Wayland, you can choose to run GNOME in X11.

+ To confirm the current windowing system in use, go to *Settings* and select *About*.
