Description:

/dev/vboxuser has to be 0666 for 3D acceleration to work in Arch guests.

See http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=706491 for more details.

Additional info:

KERNEL=="vboxuser", NAME="vboxuser", OWNER="root", MODE="0666"

That's the needed udev rule.

  • Field changed: Summary (virtualbox-ose-additions* packages lack udev rules for /dev/vboxuser → [virtualbox-ose-additions] lack udev rule for /dev/vboxuser)
NAME and OWNER are redundant:
KERNEL=="vboxuser", MODE="0666"

but maybe better:
KERNEL=="vboxuser", MODE="0660", GROUP="vboxuser", ENV{ACL_MANAGE}="1"

So you need to be part of group vboxuser (package should create it), or via udev-acl + consolekit method ;)

i don't like at all to add a new group. maybe using "users" group. i have to research to see who does their method handle that.

yeah, there's no need for a new group. oficially /dev/vboxuser should be owned by root with chmod 0666, but I guess 0660 and root:users is good too.
