Wondering why you changed the minor number (255 to 256), if all you wanted to do is changing the permission. Also, maybe for a little more security instead of changing to world accessible you want to change the group instead (video -> users) (or maybe even better you find a way to change the owner to the user that is owning the X session; I don't know exactly what's possible to access through these devices, but I guess it might really be more than you would like). I don't know why the device was changing back; maybe run strace (perhaps with a filter for mknod, chmod, fchmod, fchmodat) on all relevant processes like X, login manager.. Also, I've never used LDAP but perhaps it would be possible to give users authenticating through LDAP to get the video group automatically (statically configured)?
