The following was filed automatically by setroubleshoot: Summary: SELinux is preventing Xorg (xserver_t) "write" access to device /dev/vga_arbiter. Detailed Description: SELinux has denied the Xorg (xserver_t) "write" access to device /dev/vga_arbiter. /dev/vga_arbiter is mislabeled, this device has the default label of the /dev directory, which should not happen. All Character and/or Block Devices should have a label. You can attempt to change the label of the file using restorecon -v '/dev/vga_arbiter'. If this device remains labeled device_t, then this is a bug in SELinux policy. Please file a bug report (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi) against the selinux-policy package. If you look at the other similar devices labels, ls -lZ /dev/SIMILAR, and find a type that would work for /dev/vga_arbiter, you can use chcon -t SIMILAR_TYPE '/dev/vga_arbiter', If this fixes the problem, you can make this permanent by executing semanage fcontext -a -t SIMILAR_TYPE '/dev/vga_arbiter' If the restorecon changes the context, this indicates that the application that created the device, created it without using SELinux APIs. If you can figure out which application created the device, please file a bug report (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi) against this application. Allowing Access: Attempt restorecon -v '/dev/vga_arbiter' or chcon -t SIMILAR_TYPE '/dev/vga_arbiter' Additional Information: Source Context system_u:system_r:xserver_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 Target Context system_u:object_r:device_t:s0 Target Objects /dev/vga_arbiter [ chr_file ] Source Xorg Source Path /usr/bin/Xorg (deleted) Port <Unknown> Host (removed) Source RPM Packages Target RPM Packages Policy RPM selinux-policy-3.6.31-3.fc12 Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted MLS Enabled True Enforcing Mode Enforcing Plugin Name device Host Name (removed) Platform Linux (removed) 2.6.31-0.125.4.2.rc5.git2.fc12.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Aug 11 21:00:45 EDT 2009 x86_64 Alert Count 0 First Seen Tue 15 Sep 2009 01:48:28 PM BRT Last Seen Tue 15 Sep 2009 01:48:28 PM BRT Local ID c5c4b93c-e405-4499-8e8a-b55edd26f31e Line Numbers Raw Audit Messages node=(removed) type=AVC msg=audit(1253033308.593:40311): avc: denied { write } for pid=1420 comm="Xorg" path="/dev/vga_arbiter" dev=tmpfs ino=1069 scontext=system_u:system_r:xserver_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tcontext=system_u:object_r:device_t:s0 tclass=chr_file node=(removed) type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1253033308.593:40311): arch=c000003e syscall=16 success=no exit=-25 a0=8 a1=40104d02 a2=7fffa17286a0 a3=7fffa1728430 items=0 ppid=1418 pid=1420 auid=4294967295 uid=0 gid=0 euid=0 suid=0 fsuid=0 egid=0 sgid=0 fsgid=0 tty=tty1 ses=4294967295 comm="Xorg" exe=2F7573722F62696E2F586F7267202864656C6574656429 subj=system_u:system_r:xserver_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 key=(null) audit2allow suggests: #============= xserver_t ============== allow xserver_t device_t:chr_file write;
Udev did not create the device with the correct label. If you run restorecon /dev/vga* It will fix the label. udev has to create the devices with the correct label.
please provide the output of: # udevadm info --query=all --name=/dev/vga_arbiter
