The permissions of /dev/nvidia* are:
ls -l /dev/nvidia*
crw------- 1 cybercar root 195, 0 Jan 1 1970 /dev/nvidia0
crw------- 1 cybercar root 195, 255 Jan 1 1970 /dev/nvidiactl
Have I to change anyone of their?
Someone tell me that if I do a modprobe nvidia after emerge
nvidia-kernel it may work.
Does it could be?
Thanks
