Add video user for drm devices

[kwm]

Summary

Make drm 1 and 2 create devices under /dev/dri which are owned by root:video.

I don't know if the group video GID is the correct value, we can always change it.

As discussed on IRC, GID 90 is already taken by firebird.

On Linux, there is no standard GID. Debian uses 44, Gentoo uses 27 for instance.

sys/dev/drm/drmP.h

184

Please add a comment to recall the group name.

sys/dev/drm2/drmP.h

204

Likewise.

[kwm]

Use a unused GID, 90 is already in use in ports by firebird.

We need to document the change in UPDATING, just in case it conflicts with user-created groups.

I think there is no changes for the user otherwise. The X.Org server runs setuid root, so the group is irrelevant.

I repost my last comment, because I forgot to set the "Action" properly.

Instead of hard-coding your username, you could use:

# pw groupmod video -m $USER
