steve,
this is a udev thing, probably. in /etc/udev/permissions.d/50-
udev.permissions you can find the following line:
nvidia*:root:root:0660
that makes anything nvidia completely inaccessible to anybody but root,
even to read. the solution is simple.
create the file /etc/udev/permissions.d/10-local.permissions and put a
single line in it:
nvidia*:root:root:0666
this will override the mode in the main file (10 comes before 50
alphabetically) and let users read and write to it. after a reboot
(when the device will be recreated) it should work. i had to do this
for some dri stuff of my own too.
