Re: Fdora 16 beta log me out random

I don't think SELinux has any bearing on the driver's ability to properly work with switchable graphics.  Suggesting the OP turn it off is akin to suggesting a user run a segfaulting program as root.  It addresses a problem that may not be relevant, and does so with complete overkill.

IIRC, Linux in general does not play nice with software switchable graphics. Unless there is a physical mechanism to switch between GPUs, you may be SOL.  I will offer the off-the-cuff suggestion of explicitly defining your desired GPU and it's PCI bus id in xorg.conf.

Here's some reading, for your reference :

if you're using the nvidia proprietary driver (it sounds like you are,
but i'm not totally sure) try booting with 'enforcing=0'.
