Title:
18.04.2 login screen doesn't work if it uses 'wayland' and if video
kernel driver is 'vgwfx' kernel driver

Bug description:
After an upgrade from xenial to 18.04.2 OR 18.04.1 to 18.04.2 ,the
login screen doesn't work if 'Wayland' is in use (default) and if
video kernel driver is 'vgwfx'.
It looks like the login screen got stuck, doesn't exit, and doesn't
fallback to 'x11' by itself in case of failure.
Workaround:
- Access the machine via ssh or any other recovery approaches.
- Force the login screen to use x11:
File: /etc/gdm3/custom.conf
[daemon]
# Uncoment the line below to force the login screen to use Xorg
WaylandEnable=false
I tried to reproduce the behaviour on my personal laptop, KVM guest,
... without success.
So far it is only reproducible when the 'vgwfx' driver is in use in
combination with Wayland.
