Public bug reported:
The device on /dev/crystalhd is used to accelarate HD-video using the
Broadcom Crystal HD. The permissions on the device are too strict.
$ ls -l /dev/crystalhd
crw------- 1 root root 249, 0 mrt 1 21:09 /dev/crystalhd
After changing the file permission using 'chmod 777' (maybe a 755 will
also work), the device is usable as a normal user. I'm using XBMC, after
changing the permissions the device is detected.
