I recently updated to Ubuntu 18.04 and cannot boot using Xorg only Wayland. I have tried reinstalling xorg, reinstalling nvidia drivers, setting |WaylandEnable=false| in |/etc/gdm/custom.conf| but whenever trying to login using Xorg I get a frozen screen and mouse.
On my 18.04 system, gdm is running under Xwayland no matter what session I choose. So I'd suggest commenting out the WaylandEnable=false unless the gdm login isn't visible on your system. Also, the first time I explicitly chose "GNOME on Xorg" at the password "cog", I got a blank screen with just a mouse cursor. On reboot, GNOME is happily running on Xorg ($DESKTOP_SESSION is "gnome-xorg") — but Xwayland's still running too. Xorg is supposed to be the default for new installations under 18.04, and I was definitely running it under 17.10. I was surprised to find that after the upgrade I'd been pushed over to Xwayland.
