      What were you trying to do that didn't work?

      Trying to let X to listen to TCP Port 6000 by using adding DisallowTCP≈false in gdm/custom.conf

      Running Xorg without nvidia module loaded, then X runs with -listen tcp, and the port is opened, and I can do netstat and I see port 6000 listening as expected and needed.

      However, If I loaded nvidia driver, and run X, now the port is closed and X is no longer listening no matter what you do!

       

      Please provide the package NVR for which bug is seen:

      How reproducible:

       

      Steps to reproduce

      1. Load nvidia module
      2. Run Xorg with -listen tcp flag
      3. netstat and grep port 6000, I won't be listening, the port is not opened and not accepting local or remote connections 

      Expected results

      X should listen to connections on port 6000 all the way even when the nvidia module is loaded, as long as it's running with -listen tcp flag

      Actual results

      It doesn't work unless the nvidia module is disabled
