I'm actually not using the NVIDIA proprietary driver at all so it's not
really easy for me to test.

In the already existing udev rules, I'm seeing the following:

70-uaccess.rules:SUBSYSTEM=="drm", KERNEL=="card*", TAG+="uaccess"

I'm wondering that just adding a similar rule like is not doing the
trick:

SUBSYSTEM=="drm", KERNEL=="nvidia*", TAG+="uaccess"

Could you please paste the output of the two following commands with
and without this rule (you maybe need to reboot between the 2)

udevadm info /dev/nvidiactl

udevadm info /dev/nvidia*

Cheers,
