Now with GNOME on Wayland it would be nice if it was possible to run GDM without X.

Comment 1 Jeremy Bicha 2017-04-12 22:25:00 UTC

You would need to fix mutter to only start XWayland on demand first, bug 759538.

Comment 2 Ray Strode [halfline] 2017-04-13 14:22:41 UTC

still, we could potentially make GDM support a --disable-xorg or something to configure. Xwayland would still be required, but Xorg wouldn't.

That would kill XDMCP support at the same time for those builders as an added feature.
