CentOS - Mar 2020 - CentOS 8 two installs one is X and one is Xwayland

HI All,

I have two installs of CentOS 8. One is a VM and uses what sees as the OLD
X as I get /var/log/X* files ... the other is on a real machine and seems
to be using Xwayland and I  have no /var/log/X* files.

Couple things:
1) The VM is using qxl driver it seems. I do not see Xwayland running.
2) Xwayland is running on the physical box - and where are log files for it.

Surprised its running two different ways.

Thanks,

Jerry

Wayland is disabled when the qxl driver is in use:
