Okay, am updated to 9.10 and am running the latest Jaunty version of the NVIDIA drivers from the NVIDIA PPA. When attempting to run XBMC from the commandline I get access denied to dev\nvidiactl and if I check permissions I see root owns it and that the video group has r\w permissions. If I give "other" r\w permissions a second file pops with the same error - nvidia0. If I give the second file r\w to other XBMC will launch fine but the permissions revert shortly afterwards. If I sudo launch XBMC then it runs fine but obviously I do not wish to run XBMC as root! I really hate permissions issues
This appears to be my only issue right now - VDPAU appears to be working WELL and audio\video via HDMI works great! So I'd like to put this last issue to bed if possible, I saw no reference to this issue in my searches here.
Thanks!
P.S. I see references out there to this being a PAM issue but I've not seen a fix. This looks like it might not be an XBMX issue Welcome any thoughts on solving it though!
