think you have to put your user in the video group. Its in the recent docs I read, a security "feature"

I would look into things like "hal" and "policykit" for possible explanations. The way console privileges are granted is a-changin', and direct rendering is a console privilege. These days xorg hooks into hal, too.

srilliet,

Please post your /var/log/Xorg.0.log file.
What makes you think you don't have direct rendering ?

i installed conselkit and policy kit updated the hole system added to my group still no change
one other thing i really don't understand is direct rendering runs in root. i added a guest account to see if there was an issue with my home directory no change.

side note the errors in my xlog config is do to my second monitor bing unpluged at this time no change when pluged or un pluged.

Recently, I had a similar problem. (Direct Rendering with nvidia-drivers not available ALSO AS ROOT)
I had a stale symlink pointing to xorg's libGL instead of nvidia's one. I suspect that it is a eselect problem.
I've manually corrected the link and now it works.
1)Find the libGL path used by glxinfo, with ldd.
2)Follow symlinks until you reach the real file, and post all paths

It must reference a nvidia file,not a xorg's one.
Example on my pc:

changing this line has no affect. direct redering works fine in root but not as a user

Try to:
1)rename /usr/lib/xorg/libGL.so.1 to libGL.so.1.OLD
2)create a symlink /usr/lib/xorg/libGL.so.1 pointing to /usr/lib/opengl/nvidia/lib/libGL.so.1
3)terminate X and re-login as user

Maybe there is a better solution, but I think it can work.
Anyone has clues about the cause??
If you want to revert, just delete the symlink and rename the library.

Hrmmm...only works are root eh?

The xorg server searches for the xorg.conf file in slightly different locations depending on whether you are logged in as root or as a user. I've been burned by this before. Check your xorg log file after starting as root...look for this line:

no the driver was selected using the eselect witch did work for root but not the users. there was a bad simlink to the file for users.

srilliet,

There is something odd there - symlinks are properties of the filesystem. They are user independent.
The permissions on a symlink are never used, only the permissions on the file they point to.
