Description Frederic Detienne 2003-12-22 01:42:01 UTC

The file /etc/security/console.perms should contain:

<dri>=/dev/nvidia* /dev/3dfx* /dev/dri/* /dev/misc/agpgart

instead of

<dri>=/dev/nvidia* /dev/3dfx*

to allow games like Quake3 to run as non-root on (say) Matrox cards.

This shouldn't be an issue anymore with udev, I think.
