OK, figured this one out. There is a file called /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia whose content look something like the following:
-------------------------- options nvidia NVreg_DeviceFileUID=0 NVreg_DeviceFileGID=33 NVreg_DeviceFileMode =0666 --------------------------
All you have to do is change the mode in NVreg_DeviceFileMode=0xxx to what you desire.
OOC, why would you need to change this? I have:
crw-rw---- 1 root video 195, 255 2009-06-15 08:07 /dev/nvidiactl
Wouldn't that be correct? Xorg runs as root.
I ask all this because I still cannot get desktop effects to work with a supported nvidia card (all in an earlier thread in these parts).

Roger, /dev/nvidiactl is a tool for individual (non-root) users to control the function of their NVIDIA card. To make it accessible to everybody I set the access mode to 666. Try it out - I think that could fix your desktop effects problem. Boris. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
