What exactly is the /dev entry that is giving you problems? This
should be managed by console.perms, but it is possible that it is
missing something on your system. It works find on my F7 system, but
your setup may be different. The lines that control it are:

<dri>=/dev/nvidia* /dev/3dfx* /dev/dri/card*
and
<console>  0600 <dri>        0600 root

They are in /etc/security/console.perms.d/95-vdr.perms.
