After applying rawhide updates and starting up to new kernel 2.6.24-0.38.rc2.git6.fc9, setroubleshoot kicked in and gave the following alert:
Summary
SELinux is preventing X (xdm_xserver_t) "search" to <Unknown> (hwdata_t).
Detailed Description
SELinux denied access requested by X. It is not expected that this access is
required by X 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
Sometimes labeling problems can cause SELinux denials. You could try to
restore the default system file context for <Unknown>, restorecon -v
<Unknown> If this does not work, there is currently no automatic way to
allow this access. Instead, you can generate a local policy module to allow
this access - see http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/selinux-faq-fc5/#id2961385
Or you can disable SELinux protection altogether. Disabling SELinux
protection is not recommended. Please file a
http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi against this package.
