Just out of curiosity, I clean installed my test machine (formerly working),
and now seeing the same issues on that machine. And looking at
/etc/modprobe.d/50-nvidia-default.conf, the NVreg_DeviceFileGID is still 483.
Installed from NVIDIA's repository. I can promise you 100% I haven't manually
edited this file. Resulting nvidia/cuda packages:

If there are further tests needed, I'm happy to help. My test machine I can
rebuild in under 30 minutes, so happy for potentially destructive tests too.
