Summary: SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/Xephyr "execmem" access. Detailed Description: [Xephyr has a permissive type (sandbox_xserver_t). This access was not denied.] SELinux denied access requested by Xephyr. It is not expected that this access is required by Xephyr 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.

Are you using nvidia drivers?
I think I will allow this. 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-3.6.32-60.fc12.noarch
