Sounds like a permissions issue. What is the output of 'ls -la /dev/dri/card0' ?

Are you a member of the video group?

What's the output of 'grep video /etc/group'?

Or just use the groups command to list the groups of which you're a member.

Code:
$ groups
michael
$ grep video /etc/group
video:x:39:
EDIT: as a side question, I noticed that sound stopped working at around the same time. I wonder of this is related?

You are not part of either the video or audio groups. I'm not in front of a linux box at the moment, so I don't know if it's possible to use the group command to add yourself to those groups, but you definitely want to be part of those groups.

Try the command system-config-users, click on your login id, and select the "Properties" button at the top. In the resulting pop-up, select the "Groups" tab, and check the groups of which you want to be a member.

FYI: Here's the output of my groups command:
Code:
$ groups
Peter sys adm mem cdrom man dialout floppy games slocate ftp users qemu desktop_user_r desktop_admin_r torrent mysql pulse-access polkituser
Note the "pulse-access" group membership. That's what I needed for audio to work on my system, since F12 uses the pulse audio system.

<edit>
Note that membership in the adm and sys groups is, generally, unwise for a user, and some of those other group memberships are for special applications.

Before you posted I used the command line to add myself to the video group, I am not sure if it worked, but I don't have 3D.

I just ran sudo system-config-users as PTrenholme suggested, and it said that I already was a member of video (I guess my command worked) but not a member of audio. I made sure video and audio are checked and quit the program. But sound and 3D still don't work.

Do I need to log out and back in for this to take effect?

Yes, you may need to logout and log back in for 3D to start working again. I assume the same could be the case for audio, but I'm honestly not sure about that one.

I do have sound and 3D now, but my keyboard stopped working in X (but still works in command-line).

See my thread in Linux - Newbie.
