 |
|
Hey guys... X Windows appears to be resetting the permissions on /dev/dri so my normal user cannot have access to 3D rendering. I have the following lines related to the dri in my /etc/devfsd.conf:
| Code: | REGISTER ^dri$ PERMISSIONS root.games 755
REGISTER ^dri/.* PERMISSIONS root.games 666 |
and i can restart devfsd with: and with my root user i can see the proper permissions, but under my normal user i get permission denied. So effectively, my root user has full access to 3D, but regular users cannot access it even though they are in the same group.
I have upgraded to version 3.2.4 (from 2.9.12) and now my regular user has access to the 3D, but these drivers suck ass. The old drivers weren't so slow that you could watch the applications redraw... I have also edited /etc/security/console.perms to include /dev/dri in the <dri> section and set the same (0666) permissions for the group root.games.
Anyone know how to make the permissions stay permenant?

Have you tried added
| Code: | Section "DRI"
Group "video"
Mode 0666
EndSection |
To your X config?

| chmod -R 777 /dev/dri solved it at my machine, perhaps fixing that in X config file aswell. |
