there are two issues that should be considered: (a) it's a brand-new driver and (b) it needs additional firmware. Personally, I don't mind activating it by default, obviously, since I'm using it anyway. > Udev should automatically grant ownership to such devices to > logged-in users (unless there is a security problem in doing so). > > Something like this should do the trick: > > services.udev.extraRules = > '' > SUBSYSTEM=="dri", TAG+="udev-acl" > ''; > > only I don't know what the match (SUBSYSTEM==...) should be. Yes, it would certainly be nice if udev would do that automatically. The "permission denied" error I got initially was very hard to find, because it is buried somewhere in a 40+ KB slim.log file. In fact, I didn't even find it, the guys on #radeon did. :-) Take care, Peter _______________________________________________ nix-dev mailing list [email protected] https://mail.cs.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/nix-dev
