-To enable acceleration to run gnome-shell for Intel (and probably ATI) cards, the
-user running the shell needs to have read/write permissions on /dev/dri/cardN (usually N=0).
+Gnome-shell requires acceleration of to work. For this a nvidia card
+with the nvidia-driver, or a Intel/ATI KMS enabled card is needed.
-To have access you may put your user on the wheel group or you may use devfs.rules to
-change the mode of the /dev/dri/card0; to allow read/write access to the group your
-user belongs to or to grant read/write access to any user, i.e (untested):
+For the nvidia users no other changes are needed. For Intel/ATI KMS
+driver the user needs to have read/write permissions on
+/dev/dri/cardN (usually N=0). If gnome-shell is launched from gdm, the
+gdm user also needs this access.
- add path 'dri/*' mode 0666 group operator
-
-will do both things; will make /dev/dri/* belong to the operator group and give
-everyone read/write access. Please check:
+Access can be granted by adding the user(s) to the wheel group or using
+a devfs.rules(5) to change the mode of the /dev/dri/card0 on creation.
- man 5 devfs.rules

-for more info.
+ add path 'dri/*' mode 0666 group operator
-NVIDIA cards seems to be fine by default so no further action seems to be needed.
