Good point. Permissions are heavily screwed up on Gentoo by default. The |
5 |
applies to scanners, non-nVidia GLX (eg DRI-using), etc... The proper way to |
6 |
fix this would be to give permissions to the proper groups (/dev/dri/* to |
7 |
video; scanners to scanner group, etc) and set runtime groups |
8 |
(NOT /etc/group, but the session's groups only) for local logins to include |
9 |
these. |

I got my Radeon 9200 SE card to work perfectly fine in xorg with a single |
17 |
compile of everything. The only thing that needed work was configuring xorg |
18 |
itself and figuring out that Gentoo's default permissions suck. |

It might... My comment was assuming it was still an issue as the original |

author suggested it was. |

Too bad the kernel doesn't support ACLs on devices. I'd really like to be able |
41 |
to give read access to the 'cdrom' group and read-write to 'cdrw'. |

Indeed. If PAM can be made to modify the login session's groups instead of |
48 |
modifying device permissions, I think this will be improved greatly. |
