The Red Hat graphical boot program "rhgb" generates this avc message at bootup. It seems to run ok. audit(1082997673.875:0): avc: denied { read } for pid=49 exe=/usr/bin/rhgb name=XF86Config dev=hda6 ino=408408 scontext=system_u:system_r:rhgb_t tcontext=system_u:object_r:firstboot_rw_t tclass=file A oddity (non SELinux related) thing I noticed is that the the files /etc/X11/XF86Config and /etc/X11/xorg.conf both exist and have different contents.
