Oh don't get me wrong, I'm not arguing that running as root is necessary. In fact, I'm pretty sure we removed the last thing that required root access from our X driver ages ago, though I don't think anybody's tried it since the X server still uses things like iopl() that do require root. We just need access to the /dev/nvidia* device files.
