Re: [ddccontrol-users] nvidia_open: cannot open /dev/mem: Permission denied

Hi Massimo,

Sorry for the delay...

In the case you have not solved your problem yet, could you run this
command ?
# ls -l /usr/local/bin/ddcpci /dev/mem (or /usr/bin/ddcpci if you
installed ddccontrol to /usr)

You should have this output :

crw-r-----  1 root kmem  1, 1 Jul 27 18:17 /dev/mem
-rws--x--x  1 root root 80964 Nov 27 16:04 /usr/local/bin/ddcpci

Best regards,

Nicolas
