Bug#334847: xserver-xorg: DRM char device isn't chmod 666
Hi, About 2 years ago, you reported a bug to the Debian BTS regarding the DRM char device being mode 660 instead of 666, especially after a logout/relogin. Did you reproduce this problem recently? With Xorg/Etch? With latest xserver-xorg-core in unstable? If not, I will close this bug in the next weeks. Thanks, Brice -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Hi again Brice (you're tireless !), that bug doesn't exist anymore in sid; and I think it wasn't in latest etch. Please close it. Thanks for your work, Xav -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The problem is still there: when loggin out and relogging in (gdm is setup to restart Xorg in this case) the /dev/dri/card0 device switches back to 660 root.root, so DRI doesn't work. Maybe there should be an option in xorg.conf to leave the device node alone (if it's really Xorg changing the perms/ownership under udev's feet).

Sounds like something else changes it to something else behind the X server's back, most likely udev. You should be able to change what it sets in /etc/udev/permissions.rules. /etc/udev/permissions.rules has that: SUBSYSTEM==drm, GROUP=video but /dev/dri/card0 is still 660 root.root Do you also still have the file /etc/udev/permissions.d/udev.permissions? If yes, what does its entry for 'dri/card[0-9]' say? Do you think I should report the bug to udev ? Not sure. As you say it only happens 'sometimes', it sounds like a race condition between conflicting configurations rather than a bug in any particular package. -- Earthling Michel Dänzer | Debian (powerpc), X and DRI developer Libre software enthusiast| http://svcs.affero.net/rm.php?r=daenzer
