Ok, as listed by *ls -l, /dev/nvidiactl*:

/dev$ ls -l nvidiactl
crw-rw----  1 root video 195, 255 2005-01-14 12:32 nvidiactl

so it seems that the owner is root, and the group is video. Mmm, i
thought that my user was added to the video group {at least, the GUI
tool for managing groups has allowed me to add my user to the video
group}, but a "groups" command shows:

my-user adm dialout cdrom floppy audio

no video group

but, a sudo adduser my-user video says that my-user is already a member
of the video group. Still, glxgears just works if i sudo it.
