Re: permissions on /dev/nvidia*

[Uli Wannek <wannek-spamfree@gmx.de>]

It is a very old thread, sorry, but i stumbled upon and meanwhile found
a solution:

nvidia supplies
  /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia-kernel-common.conf
originally containing:
  alias char-major-195* nvidia
  options nvidia NVreg_DeviceFileUID=0 NVreg_DeviceFileGID=44 \
                 NVreg_DeviceFileMode=0660
  # To enable FastWrites and Sidebus addressing, uncomment these lines
  # options nvidia NVreg_EnableAGPSBA=1
  # options nvidia NVreg_EnableAGPFW=1
  # see #580894
  blacklist nouveau

which i changed to (my "users" GID is 1000):
  options nvidia NVreg_DeviceFileUID=0 NVreg_DeviceFileGID=1000 \
                 NVreg_DeviceFileMode=0660
After
  rmmod nvidia
  modprobe nvidia
rights for all nvidia devices fit.
