ATI problem, udev not creating /dev/dri/card0


Just updated to current, and my ATI graphics card is no longer working, and it seems to be because udev is not creating /dev/dri/card0. Udev.rules shows that it should be, anyone any ideas to get this back as it worked before upgrading.
TIA

I remember having this problem a couple years ago on my laptop with a Radeon Mobility U1. I discovered it's created during X startup. When I started X as a user it would not be created, but for root it would. IIRC, I solved it by adding my user to the video group.

dracolich, thanks, that did the trick. Still don't know why it broke on upgrading the system, but it works again now.
