these permissions are done by ConsoleKit/HAL/DeviceKit framework these days, no need for group membership.

Comment 6 Kay Sievers 2009-10-29 10:33:08 UTC 
Access is granted for locally logged-in users, groups are not used.

How do you log into the box?

What DisplayManager are you using?

How is X started?

startx does not integrate with ConsoleKit, and therefore no ACLs are granted.

Access for local users is not supported that way, and you might need the manual group assignment like you did.

Please use a DisplayManager like kdm/gdm for out-of-the-box support.

no normal user belongs into any of these groups by default. any of them could log into the box of over ssh, and listen to the microphone and all such nasty things.

we just do not support all session tracking with startx, you have to use a displaymanager to log in, or put yourself into these groups, if you can take the mentioned risks.
