3D acceleration within non-root account

[Ladislav Jozsa]

Thank you for your answer. I have checked write access to the device 
/dev/dri/card0, everything seems to be OK.

# ls -l /dev/dri/card0
crw-rw-rw-  1 root  wheel    0, 131 May 15 09:02 /dev/dri/card0

Because I don't know which device can cause the problem I also tried to 
set write access to the following devices:

crw----rw-  1 root  wheel    0,  29 May 15 09:02 /dev/agpgart
crw-r--rw-  1 root  wheel    0,  15 May 15 09:02 /dev/pci

However it is still not working. Please see the Xorg.log file attached.
