The NVIDIA X driver uses a UNIX domain socket to pass information to other driver components. If unable to connect to this socket, some driver features, such as G-Sync, may not work correctly. The socket will be bound to a file with a name unique to the X server instance created in the directory specified by this option. Note that on Linux, an additional abstract socket (not associated with a file) will also be created, with this pathname socket serving as a fallback if connecting to the abstract socket fails. The default, which was in effect prior to this change, was `/var/run`. The effect of not setting this option was that GDM X sessions (and other non-root sessions) would see this warning in the log files: ``` (WW) NVIDIA: Failed to bind sideband socket to (WW) NVIDIA: '/var/run/nvidia-xdriver-b4f69129' Permission denied ``` I don't see any security implications of turning this on universally, since there already was an abstract socket created according to the docs.
