In my installation they get permissions 660 and owner root:video which makes them unusable for a normal user (non root). I'v changed my udev-setup by giving everybody rw-access to these devices. But, this is not needed for X to run. Only for the screensaver in KDE (which is build upon xscreensaver) strange enough.



This is because some of the screensavers use 3d functionality, and access to the /dev/nvidia* devices is required for that functionality. The more proper solution is to add users to the video group (just like you do with sound, disk, whatever the case may be).
