I thought this was something to be set in the xorg.conf file? It is. http://dri.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/moin.cgi/Building has some info on this. For example, if you only want a certain group: Section "DRI" Group "driusers" Mode 0660 EndSection Otherwise, do mode 0666 and leave out the Group line. I believe that the group ownership should be 'video' instead of 'root' by default, also in accordance with udev default settings: "dri/*:root:video:0660" OK File a bug at bugs.freedesktop.org and post the URL here. Does it really make sense to have that default in xorg itself? I mean, is the "video" group universal? Also, so far I think stock xorg did not depend on any particular user/group (except root) to be present on the system it install onto. This isn't a per-distro issue, we don't want to be hacking around xorg and adding custom patches. If you want it changed at all, you want it changed upstream. Thanks, Petr! *** Bug 126026 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** What about some comment in udev configuration for people who will want to change it and assume udev is doing it ? |
