Summary
SELinux is preventing Xorg (xdm_xserver_t) "compute_create" to <Unknown>
(security_t).

Detailed Description
SELinux denied access requested by Xorg. It is not expected that this
access is required by Xorg and this access may signal an intrusion
attempt. It is also possible that the specific version or configuration
of the application is causing it to require additional access.

Allowing Access
You can generate a local policy module to allow this access - see FAQ
Or you can disable SELinux protection altogether. Disabling SELinux
protection is not recommended. Please file a bug report against this
package.

We have turned off xselinux by default in Rawhide/FC9 Beta.

You need to boot in enforcing mode to make it work correctly.
