Dave, Here are some notes from my archives: Based on this link: http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=68681 run the following commands as root: chcon -t texrel_shlib_t /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/nvidia_drv.so chcon -t texrel_shlib_t /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.so.1.0.8762 chcon -t texrel_shlib_t /usr/lib/libnvidia-tls.so.1.0.8762 chcon -t texrel_shlib_t /usr/lib/tls/libnvidia-tls.so.1.0.8762 chcon -t texrel_shlib_t /usr/lib/libGLcore.so.1.0.8762 chcon -t texrel_shlib_t /usr/lib/libGL.so.1.0.8762 You can run dmesg to see the selinux failures and run this command on any files that still need allowance. SElinux is preventing access to some of the nvidia driver bits because it considers them "dangerous." (?) I have found that I need to run these commands (as root) every time I install or upgrade my nvidia drivers. Hope that helps!
