Hi all,
I just dup'ed my machine today as well and ran into an issue I believe a bunch of users ran into already.
GDM fails to show the greeter with the all famous 'oh no! something has gone wrong' error message.
I could track it down to /dev/nvidiactl: the gdm greeter seems not to have sufficient permissions to access this device, causing the error.
/dev/nvidiactl is created as crw-rw---- root:video; which obviously is not matching the gdm user's permission.
/etc/modprobe.d/50-nvidia.conf: options nvidia NVreg_DeviceFileUID=0 NVreg_DeviceFileGID=33 NVreg_DeviceFileMode=0660 Add gdm to video group. ;-) I didn't see such an issue with KDE/kdm. What has changed in kdm?
As a quick workaround I just added user 'gdm' to the group 'video', which helped over the problem, but I'm wondering why this would have started to happen now?

Apparently more users start seeing this now as well, see https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=728259
How was the permission on that device handled in the past? What changed and why did we loose it?
I'm very tempted of flagging that issue as a blocker, as a big part of nvidia users will be affected by this.
Looks like ACL aren't set to nvidia devices, unlike drm "classic" device :
70-uaccess.rules:SUBSYSTEM=="drm", KERNEL=="card*", TAG+="uaccess" 70-udev-acl.rules:SUBSYSTEM=="drm", KERNEL=="card*", TAG+="udev-acl"
there is no similar rule for nvidia.
No idea, what would be required. And if it's possible with NVIDIA at all. But NVIDIA/fglrx RPMs won't work anyway with RC2 becoming the final release due to bnc #619218 ...
