I was able to resolve this: Due to some veeeery old mechanism, we
used sth. like "startx& logout" to start X. Therefore the resmgr
permissions were revoked during logout and so users didn't have any
access via resmgr when X comes up. "resmgr list" showed an empty
list of deviced.
We changed that so that the permissions given at login were kept
when starting X, and now ivman works for users, too.

Frank
