Summary: SELinux is preventing /usr/sbin/lircd "read" access on mouse0. Detailed Description: [SELinux is in permissive mode. This access was not denied.] SELinux denied access requested by lircd. It is not expected that this access is required by lircd 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 (http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/selinux-faq-fc5/#id2961385) Please file a bug report.

This occurred when I opened Rhythmbox with its lirc plugin enabled.
You can add these rules for now using # grep avc /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol # semodule -i mypol.pp Fixed in selinux-policy-3.6.32-56.fc12.noarch
