Re: [debian-x] DRI device permissions

2001-08-01 Thread Gordon Heydon
Hello,

If you want to be able to access the dri by a normal user you need to
either create a dri group or open the premissions up to everybody with a
chmod -R 666 /dev/dri

 Are my permissions incorrect?

Thanks. Are there plans to create a dri group by default on Debian systems in 
the future?
