Can you show me your /etc/security/console.perms? Mine doesn't speak about "video" anywhere. Also, none of the nvidia ebuilds tell something about the "video" user. andrew@asteroid ~ $ ls -l /dev/nvidia* crw-rw---- 1 root video 195, 0 Nov 29 08:13 /dev/nvidia0 crw-rw---- 1 root video 195, 255 Nov 29 08:13 /dev/nvidiactl andrew@asteroid ~ $ groups lp wheel audio video games cdrw users portage Sven they should be in the video group as per udev defaults. Would it be more preferable to have a note about this added to the ebuilds? Essentially standard permissions however I did comment out the "dri"
sections as suggested by the nvidia docs. That didn't fix the problem
until user was added to video group.

please ignore the <c<console thing generated by mistake while pasting. <console> 0600 <fb> 0600 root that line was truncated.and should also be there. I don't believe i ever edited this file from default until i commented the dri lines. user99 Thanks; added to the nvidia guide. Andrew: it might be interesting to add a note as well, although, now that it's documented, it's not absolutely necessary. |
