Package: nvclock
Version: 0.8b4-1
Severity: normal

If run from a user account nvclock will complain that no drivers are present,
when really they are, and error out.

In src/backend/back_linux.c at line 95, nvclock wants the user
to have drivers AND be root at the same time. If the check is corrected,
nvclock is then able to perform various tasks w/o requiring usage of root
account.
