Screenshot of the error and torcs launched from terminal

Description of problem:
While using xguest account, if I go to Applications -> Games -> TORCS an error message appears saying "Your system currently is not capable of hardware accelerated 3D", but if I open a terminal and run torcs it works fine. I think xguest should be allowed to launch 3d apps using menus.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
xguest-1.0.8-6.fc13.noarch

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. install xguest and a 3d app (eg torcs)
2. try to launch it from applications' menu
  
Actual results:
error

Expected results:
just works

What avc messages are you seeing in your logs?

ausearch -m avc -ts recent

Comment 2 Iván Jiménez 2010-08-03 21:17:42 UTC
[root@endeavour ~]# ausearch -m avc -ts recent
<no matches>

Comment 3 Daniel Walsh 2010-08-04 18:34:50 UTC
Could you launch the app again and then check for AVCS?

Sure. If i do ausearch -m avc -ts recent as xguest I get:

Error opening config file (Permiso denegado)
NOTE - using built-in logs: /var/log/audit/audit.log
Error opening /var/log/audit/audit.log (Permiso denegado)

and as root:

<no matches>

so I guess there aren't avcs, just the error message.

As root execute

You can turn off the "dontaudit" rules by executing
# semodule -DB
As xguest_t try to run the app.
Collect all of the AVC messages that deal with the tool.

Turn back on the dontaudit rules by executing 
# semodule -B

messages in audit.log

After issuing semodule -DB, these are the messages in audit.log that seems related.

Does

#setsebool -P user_direct_dri 1

Fix the problem?
