Description Laurent Haan 2004-04-05 10:54:53 UTC 
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6)
Gecko/20040207 Firefox/0.8

Description of problem:
I installed the NVIDIA driver normally and wanted to start X. He gave
me the error "/dev/nvidiactl: permissions to restrictive".

So I read the NVIDIA Readme and changed the
/etc/security/console.perms and erased every line related to <dri>.
Then I changed the permissions back to 0666 and chown root and tried
again to launch X.

The same problem: permissions to restrictive.

is there a workaround or another file in Fedora I need to change ?

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
latest nvidia driver

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. install NVIDIA driver
2. edit XF86Config
3. start X
    

Actual Results:  black screen and error message

Expected Results:  see the NVIDIA logo and the login screen
