I never used that closed source crap myself, but I just wanted to mention that some Suse folks did some work on logind to do ACL management for the nvidia device nodes even though these device nodes do not appear in the Linux device model as used by udev (simply because the device model is only available to free code). Not sure if this fixes the whole problem, but there's at least a way to manage access to some nvidia bits for unprivileged userspace.
