in the file /etc/udev/permissions.d/50-udev.permissions make the nvidia line:

nvidia*:root:root:0666

Nope. Sigh. We are all trying to do the same thing in a different way. I may head over to fedora forums and see what they say.

Thanks all for the suggestions

314720 2005-01-17 00:41:00 vinref: how is /etc/rc.local a user startup file? IIRC its the file thats run after everything else has been run duing boot?!

Are the devices not being created until after X is being started, in which case that is ineffective issuing that command on boot?

I am not sure of the correct terminology but yes, /etc/rc.local is the last script to be executed and specific users can place their own commands in it. I call it a "user start-up" file for convenience. The devices are created early, somewhere very soon after the kernel is loaded.

314722 2005-01-17 02:15:00 I googled and found the following solution:
Create a file named 10-udev.permissions under /etc/udev/permissions.d/
This file should have a single line:
nvidia*:root:root:0666

Save it and from the command line as root:
chown root.root /dev/nvidia*
chmod 0666 /dev/nvidia*

Reboot.
It worked for me.

Yes, they can, but it should be chmod 644 meaning root is the only person who can actually WRITE to it, so while it is "user" stuff, technically its "root" or "admin" stuff, because the average "user" with "user" access cant write to the file to add to it!

So yes, thats still a good place to put things you want done on startup, like when I mount --bind /opt/Music /var/www/localhost/htdocs/Music

And we have a winna! :D

Thanks for that.
