Inside that file I learned I must edit this file:

/etc/security/console.perms

In particular, console.perms contains the following line which needs to  
be deleted:

=/dev/nvidia* /dev/3dfx*

Finally, I needed to issue the following commands:

chmod 0666 /dev/nvidia*
chown root /dev/nvidia*

That's wrong. console.perms is the right way to do it. You don't want  
666 permissions on a device node.

Maybe the perms in console.perms are incorrect (tuxracer worked  
perfectly for me in gnome - don't know why kde would be any different)  
but taking it out of console.perms and chmod 0666 may work but is  
wrong.

Writing about a laptop, you could also elaborate on suspending Fedora to 
hard disk (like hibernate function of Windows 2000/XP) does. I haven't 
done this on my new FC3, but in FC2 I could compile a kernel for that 
purpose.
