xorg is easiest, because Fedora 28 uses that by default for vmware svga:

  (1) download Fedora 28 workstation live iso.
  (2) boot in qemu with -vga vmware.

To try wayland you have to install fedora to disk (can be done using the
workstation live iso).

You can switch between xorg and wayland using /etc/gdm/custom.conf then,
by commenting/uncommenting the WaylandEnable line ...

   [daemon]
   # Uncoment the line below to force the login screen to use Xorg
   #WaylandEnable=false

... and rebooting.

xorg regression needs fixing.

Having wayland working too would be nice, but wayland doesn't work with
the current emulation either.  So it isn't a regression and can be done
as separate patch series later on.
