These versions introduce possible regressions such as failing to set certain custom GPU settings on some hardware, e.g. manual fan control. Potentially other unconfirmed regressions being looked into. Bumping will be held back until further notice unless there is a real need for those (bugfixes are relatively trivial and existing versions should function normally). This bug is only to track status.

(In reply to poncho from comment #1) > Are you aware of: > Security Bulletin: NVIDIA GPU Display Driver - April 2021 > https://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/5172 Thank you, I wasn't yet (no mentions in the changelogs). While some loss of functionality will be unfortunate until fixed, I'll go on the safe side and do the bumps anyway. I'll use another bug for this, and keep this bug for tracking functionality issues.
Recent reports pointed to rootless Xorg being related, and sure enough emerging xorg-server with USE="-elogind -systemd suid" allows this to work again (logind also needs to be disabled so it doesn't use a suid-wrapper). Unknown at the moment what it's trying to access for which video group is no longer enough.

Indeed, thanks for confirming. I've also tested (new) 460.80 and still the same as well. Current stable drivers (390.141,450.102.04,460.67) are the last working in-tree versions. I don't intend to forever delay stabling new versions but I'm giving it more time in case nvidia push a fix. I'll send an update here if nvidia does fix this.

Fortunately, most users do not need this and complains in ~arch have been minimal. But for the few users for which fan control / reclocking or similar is essential, provide a postinst message only if use of Coolbits is detected (do not wish to spread this unnecessarily so users do not set USE=suid on xorg-server when they don't need it and, even though it been 3 months, it may still be a temporary requirement). Message is primarily aimed at stable users given ~arch had to deal with this for a while already.

If this is going to be a permanent state of affair, may be better documented elsewhere and bug closed as an upstream issue (albeit keeping open a bit longer for tracking).

Guess I'll just close this, there's no sign of this getting fixed (haven't really been bothering to check anymore) and I still don't have a workaround for it beside running Xorg as root if you need coolbits.
