Do you start X from command line or boot into level 5? By default /dev/nv* are accessible to logged-on user only if you are logged in under X. I always considered it a bug ... could you please try to change in /etc/security/console.perms <xconsole> 0600 <dri> 0600 root into <console> 0600 <dri> 0600 root and tell if it works? You'll need to relogin at least or better to reboot :-) -andrej
