Some good thoughts.  Fedora doesn't seem to have a video group.  I use
my own user account "Dylan" instead of a mythtv user however I don't
think it should make that big of a difference.  Also,
boron dev]$ ls -l nv*
crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 195,   0 Sep 14 18:16 nvidia0
crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 195, 255 Sep 14 18:16 nvidiactl
crw-rw---- 1 root root  10, 144 Sep 14 18:14 nvram

I'm not sure what nvram is, you think I need permessions for it?
