I'm having trouble finding a way to switch Ubuntu 18.10 to Wayland. I have Xwayland installed but don't see a way to switch the session. I did enable it in gdm3 custom.conf but it doesn't seem to be running. Can you point me to some directions?

Everything works fine with the internal display or an external Dell G2410 (1920x1080) connected via VGA. But when I try to switch to an external BenQ PD2710QC (2560x1440) I only see the screen for a few seconds at a time and then it flashes to black. This happens consistently for minutes--it never "settles down". I've tried the default configuration as well as copying xorg.conf from /usr/share/doc/xserver-xorg-video-intel into /etc/x11. I've tried both xorg configurations with nomodeset in the bootloader and without. I have not been able to find any configuration that allows this external DisplayPort display to work. The same hardware combination works fine in Windows 10.
