+Summary: console.perms trashes the nVidia driver
+
+From Bugzilla Helper:
+User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux 2.4.9 i686; en-US; rv:0.9.1)
+Gecko/20010622
+
+Description of problem:
+The nVidia drivers (downloaded from nVidia) require 666 perms on
+/dev/nvidia* in order to work correctly. But /etc/security/console.perms
+set 600 on those files.
+As a result, after several login/logout to/from my account (i use runlevel
+5), or after several CTRL-ALT-F1/F7, X Window is frozen, no keyboard, no
+mouse, i have to use the magic SysRq to reboot the computer.
+
+Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
+
+
+How reproducible:
+Always
+
+Steps to Reproduce:
+1.Install RH7.1 and Ximian Gnome
+2.Install nVidia drivers
+3.Login/logout from your X sessions several times
+
+
+Actual Results: The display is frozen, i have to reboot the machine.
+
+Expected Results: X Window should work normally.
+
+Additional info:
+
+My system:
+- Red Hat 7.1
+- Ximian Gnome 1.4
+- kernel 2.4.9 compiled by myself
+- nVidia GeForce2 MX-400 32 MB RAM
+- latest nVidia drivers (1512, but the problem was the same with the older
+ones)
+- motherboard i815
+
+I managed to fix the problem by replacing this line in
+/etc/security/console.perms:
+
+<xconsole> 0600 <dri> 0600 root
+
+with this line:
+
+<xconsole> 0666 <dri> 0666 root
+
+(it's actually the last line in the file)
+I don't know the possible security implications of this change. But as soon
+as i did it, the bug was fixed. Now my system works soooo nice!
+And the change is right in the opinion of the guys from nVidia; here's what
+Andy Ritger <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> says:
+
+Thanks for reporting your problem. We've not actually seen this in house,
+but have had several similar reports. Here are several things to check
+(though I doubt any of them are the culprit):
+
+o The permissions on the /dev/nvidia* files should be 0666 (some
+distributions have been changing permissions on our device files and
+causing all sorts of foolishness).
