Testing request: gdm-on-Wayland on hybrid graphics laptops (esp. Macbooks)

[Christian Schaller]

Hi William, please add yourself to the bug and of course provide any information you
can provide. We need to know more about the scope of this to be able to determine 
if its a blocker or not. Of course our challenge is that until we have a way to
reproduce on a system our devs can look at or get logs that helps us understand
what is happening it is hard to fix.

Christian
