It gets more weird: If I log in as joe user (member of video group) and run glxgears, it complains that DRI is not available. Same if I run something like xbmc. However, if I 'su -' to root, both of these work great. Note that I have not restarted X or anything. I have just switched to root in a konsole and entered the command. Typing the same command but as the original logged in user fails. Here is the more weird part: if I log in to KDE as root, it also does NOT work. Running a command at the Konsole prompt claims that DRI is not available. I would have thought if it was a permission thing, the root user would be gold. Especially given that a 'su' to said user has a positive effect. If I run nvidia-setup (or nvidia-settings - I forget which it is called and the machine is not handy), it always claims that DRI is available. I feel that there is a clue here. But I am not sure what to check. The X config is the one out-of-the-box. There is no xorg.conf, and I am rather certain that I have not mucked about with any of the other config files. I guess I should check that against the RPMs. Strange things have been known to happen late at night... Any other suggestions for things to check?
