/dev/input/js* should have the type mouse_device_t.  Please do a "ls -Z" on 
them and tell me what it says.  NB It is not going to say unlabeled_t, it 
will say whatever is on disk, the kernel uses unlabeled_t if what's on disk 
makes no sense with the currently loaded policy.

What is it trying to do here?

The fact that it tries both in quick succession means that all it really 
wanted is read.

13 == EACCES?  That can't be right.  Steve, what do you think about this?

Interesting.  Who owns your tty devices?

Granting this capability should not cause a problem so please test allowing 
this and see if it does some good.  We don't want to grant capabilities 
wildly, but this will be OK if there are cases that need it.

This one is already in bugzilla.  You could put an allow rule in custom.te if 
you want to reduce the noise.  But we deliberately don't want to allow this 
in the default policy.  kdm needs to be fixed (it was always broken).

Put the following in file_contexts/program/xserver.fc
/var/log/XOrg.*         --      system_u:object_r:xserver_log_t

I have attached a suitable xserver.fc file.

Then you have to relabel /var/log after rebuilding the file_contexts file.

Regarding the long message, all the messages after 11:27:19 appeared to be 
repeats.  The X server and getty will continue restarting forever so will 
produce an unlimited amount of messages if they can't startup correctly.
