Rebooting the machine a SECOND time resolves the issue. However, I should not have to reboot twice for the new setting to take effect. Steps to Reproduce: 1. When the machine boots up with scrambled graphics, press Control+Alt+F3 2. Log into the machine using the tty session and run "sudo editor /etc/gdm3/custom.conf 3. Set Wayland to false and reboot 4. Notice after reboot the same scrambled graphics appear until the user reboots again Expected Results: Gnome Display Manager runs xorg and xorg shows the correct graphics for the machine. Actual Results: Graphics are scrambled and settings do not appear to take effect until next reboot. This issue occurred right before 12:45 PM, EDT, on November 29, 2019.
