So no, they are identical. (The fourth digit is where the setuid, setgid and sticky bits live) -- Richard Urwin Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

Is there a significant difference between chmod 666 /dev/nvidia1 and chmod 0666 /dev/nvidia1?

[newbie] nvidiactl permissions
this is now the second day I'm getting these kind of errors (now when running k3d): Error: Could not open /dev/nvidiactl because the permissions are too resticitive. Please see the FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS section of /usr/share/doc/NVIDIA_GLX-1.0/README for steps to correct. I went to the faq there .. fixed it .. even ended up with my computer not starting up anymore .. because I only deleted on of the appearances .. not both ... anway .. now it's back again .. and I wasn't using k3d anymore ... I'm starting to get the impression that my Linux is cracking ... everybody says this only happening to windowses ... but it is happening ... my X starts and logins are now takig longer ... sometimes everything is slowed to a crawl ... today I found all my custom made tricking file associations in kcontrol have dissapeared ... yesterday I installed, uninstalled & reinstalled Firebird a couple of times on account of it not receiving input anymore ... things are going down the drain ... I think I'll try 9.2 rc2 ... or whatever ... linux people generally don't admit the fact that linux has problems .. and they blame it on poor configuration ... well, I've did my best now for quite a while .. and things are falling apart ... yes .. I am a linux person too ... but though I might seem shiny & happy to the outside I am turning a bit bitter ;-( Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
