When I boot, /dev/dri/card0 is owned by root:video. After starting X (via 'startx'), /dev/dri/card0 is owned by root:root. If I type 'udevstart' (as root), then the ownership is fixed. Can anyone shed some light on what's going on here? Thanks.

I think you should have something like this in your X config file:

Code:

Section "DRI"
Group "video"
Mode 0660
EndSection
