Description Harald Schioeberg 2006-03-13 01:04:32 UTC 
It took me a while of googling to find out how to enable dri support on ati cards.
/dev/dri/card0 belongs to root:root with 0660, but should belong to root:video
or root:users depending on taste :)
One needs 

Section "DRI"
  Group "video"
  Mode 0666
EndSection
  
in the xorg.conf, and it has nothing to do with the udev settings, which look perfectly ok, with 

/etc/udev/rules.d/50-udev.rules:
KERNEL=="card*",        NAME="dri/card%n", GROUP="video"

This should be documented somewhere, i'd opt for a warning in the opengl-update 
script, or a note in xorg.conf.sample, unless there is a good X11 installation document, which i have not found.
