+      The <application>Gnome Display Manager</application> (GDM) in Fedora 22 will default to the <application>Wayland</application> display server instead of Xorg. While the default GNOME session still uses X, this change brings the move to Wayland one step closer.

+    <para>
+      Wayland is a compositing display server, using your computer's video hardware for rendering. On systems where Wayland will not run, GDM should transparently fall back to using the X backend.

+      If you need to disable Wayland for GDM, edit /etc/gdm/custom.conf to reflect the following:
+      <screen>
+         [daemon]
+         WaylandEnable=false
+       </screen>
