Ubuntu 9.10, nvidia GTS 250.

Everytime I run vendetta, resolution goes low then I get this error when I run from the command line:
-------------------------------------------------------
jwb@glyph:~$ bin/vendetta
NVIDIA: could not open the device file /dev/nvidiactl (Permission denied).
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::bad_alloc'
what(): St9bad_alloc
--------------------------------------------------------

perms:
jwb@glyph:~$ ls -al /dev/nvidiactl
crw-rw---- 1 root video 195, 255 2009-12-19 12:03 /dev/nvidiactl

If I change other to be rw, it works then changes it back to rw-rw----

I also need to change the perms for /dev/nvidia0 too.

other 3d games seem to be working ok.

Oh, also the bug/crash report thingie doesn't work, it just locks up and never goes anywhere.

this worked, I had to create the file "/etc/udev/rules.d/00.rules" and add this line to it:

Code:
=================================================================
KERNEL="nvidia*", GROUP="video", MODE="0666"
