The cosmic login screen flickers to black a few times on boot and then finally settles on using Xorg instead of Wayland.
I can tell because from ssh user 'gdm' is running:
/usr/lib/xorg/Xorg vt2 -displayfd 3 -auth /run/user/
and not the usual Xwayland. Also the login screen offers no choice of Xorg or Wayland sessions.

In both cases I see:
Aug 14 11:40:46 kab gnome-shell[890]: X Wayland crashed; exiting
Aug 14 11:49:16 kab gnome-shell[890]: X Wayland crashed; exiting
which would explain why the Wayland option is missing when I finally get a login screen.
Unfortunately there are no crash files or core dumps :(
