Bug Description

Running version 16.04.2
vdpau only works as root in version 304.132-0ubuntu0.16.04.2.

I can run vdpauinfo as normal user and get an error, unable to create device. Run as root (sudo vdpauinfo) and it works. Similarly, running mythfrontend with vdpau requires sudo mythfrontend to be able to work.

The previous version 304.131 worked fine. I have temporarily fixed the problem by rolling back to that version.

kodi, from the team-xbmc PPA, also would only run as root until I downgraded to nvidia-304 version 04.131-0ubuntu3.

I think this is the relevant portion of the kodi crashlog file.
