Nvidia Permissions Error

April 13th, 2008

With my NIS server and my OpenSuse clients, I’ve been having some problems getting 3D acceleration working.

Luckily, I’ve found a simple solution. Because I’m unable to assign the NIS users to the video group (which is what Nvidia’s permissions are set to), I must set the Nvidia device file to allow access for everyone.

Just edit /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia and replace 660 with 666. All done!

On another note, Doom 3 will only run at 24 bit depth. Make sure the xorg.conf file is set to that!
