X.Org Server shows as stopped in Host Configuration when it isn't.

Hi,

I'd like to report what I believe to be a bug in how the esxi host reports a service status. I don't have an active support agreement, so therefore I am doing it here. Maybe it is also something that I am doing wrong, and you can tell me how to fix it?

I have just installed NVIDIA Grid Drivers for our K1 cards on my esxi hosts. I wanted to make sure that X.Org is started as that is a requirement for GRID accelerated graphics. I noticed, and have noticed on other versions of vSphere, that the status of the X.Org server is falsely reported.

In both the flash and html client for vSphere the X.Org server is reported as stopped:

HTML: Host > Configure > Services > X.Org Server = Stopped

FLASH: Host > Configure > Security Profile > X.Org Server = stopped

HTML Host Client: Manage > Services > X.Org Server = stopped

SSH:

[root@HOSTNAME:~] /etc/init.d/xorg status

Xorg is running

This example is comming from vCenter 6.7 with ESXi 6.5U2 but can also be witnessed on vSphere 6U3+.

Is this a reproducable bug?

Thanks for your support

Edit: I just checked

ESXi 6.0.0 7967664 reports incorrectly on the C# Client,

ESXi 6.0.0 6921384 reports correctly on the C# Client.
