I think you need to change the permissions on /dev/io rather then on /dev/pci. But a better solution would be to use the tdfx device. See http://pohl.ececs.uc.edu/~cokane/ on how to use it. It seems to be only in -current, but I used the driver successfully in 4.0 and 4.1-stable, by adding the source code to the tree and patching the linux_ioctl.[ch], following the included instructions. However, this driver only works for a single Voodoo2 board. When I added a second board to use it in SLI mode I couldn't use this driver anymore (system hang...). As root it works however, Unreal Tournament in 1024x768, yummie ;-). Good luck, Karel.
