Subject: Setting up graphics card
Comment:

I have a nvidia tvt2 graphics card and ran into the problem of not being able to run games with opengl (like chromium). I installed the drivers from the site, but I have one problem. If I simply log on as a normal user chromium doesn't work. I have to log in as root from a terminal run "ldconfig" and then run the game as root. Is there any way to automate this? Or allow any user to run "ldconfig"? Thanks for any help.
