Description Marco Clocchiatti 2007-08-12 10:05:45 UTC 
using compiz, I had a lot of trouble because my user was out of video group.

may be useful to add an info in the ebuild to advise administrators to do something as:

# usermod -aG video <username>

Reproducible: Always

You wouldn't have lots of trouble if you read the docs:

:oops:
thank. anyway, sometime it seems unpossible to read all that you need to setup your system.

I thing the einfo may be useful the same.
