Addendum to other mail:

If you switch of change-uid, then you have to make sure that you have
the permissions for all needed resouces!

On my system(Debian) the device-files are in the group "video", so you
must add you user to this group.
adduser <username> video
(You have to logout/login the user after the change!)

And don't forget to chown all dirs to you user.
