This problem caused me quite a headache trying to sort out poor graphics performance issues I was experiencing. I wasted a lot of time trying different video drivers and configurations until I realized that glx gears was reporting that it could not access /dev/nvidiactl, which is in the video group. I added my user to the group and now my video performance is great. This is the only user I have on the system, and was created during install.
