For actual graphics devices I don't see much point in it, these are the prime
example of a device that should be handled through uaccess.

But these days there's CUDA. I'm not sure if that also needs access to render
devices, or whether these are *really* just for rendering.

My feeling is:

 - If they are for number crunching as well (CUDA, etc.), 660 + render group + 
uaccess
 - If they are strictly for graphical output, 660 + uaccess

Thanks,

Martin
