In my case I had already noticed this, and using ACLs is fine. Most
modern GNU/Linux have been using ACLs since tmpfs/devtmpfs gained
support for them a few years ago.

Some time ago this device node from the DRM subsystem was renamed to
“cardX”, so the “/dev/dri/card0” is what is used nowadays. If you look
under “/sys” the kernel still advertises “controlD64” as a symlink to
“card0”:

  % ls -l /sys/class/drm/card0/device/drm/controlD64 
  lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 oct 30 16:57 /sys/class/drm/card0/device/drm/controlD64 -> card0/

I tried to symlink “/dev/dri/controlD64 -> “/dev/dri/card0” to no avail.


(BTW, if the WebKit or WPE code has “controlD64” hardcoded somewhere,
well then we should fix it, but I doubt that's the case ;-D)
