= Configuring GNOME to use Xorg
At the login screen, select the "gear" icon and select *GNOME on Xorg*.

This change will persist unless changed back at the login screen.
== Changing the default GNOME session via configuration file
As an alternative, this change can be made by editing a configuration file `/etc/gdm/custom.conf`.
. Open `/etc/gdm/custom.conf` and uncomment `WaylandEnable=false`.
. Add the following line to the `[daemon]` section:
DefaultSession=gnome-xorg.desktop
. Save the `custom.conf` file.
. Logout or reboot to enter the new session.
== Confirming the change to Xorg
You can confirm the display server in use by visiting *Settings* > *About*. The Windowing System should now read *X11*.
