Hi Doug.
First, thanks for looking at this. I will be very surprised if
permissions are involved, because I'm using the same scripts
(different xorg video drivers, and the intel-specific va only on
intel) on haswell (broken), radeon (ok), amdgpu (ok until I use the
slider to scroll forward or back).
