Fedora 7 nvidia issues

[Bob Kashani]

Hi, folks. I'm having a few issues with nvidia on a fresh install of F7.
During startup I see messages that state that nvidia can't create:

/dev/nvidia0
/dev/nvidia1
/dev/nvidia2
/dev/nvidia3
/dev/nvidiactl

kmod-nvidia-96xx-1.0.9631-12.2.6.21_1.3194.fc7
xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-96xx-1.0.9631-11.lvn7

Here are the relevant avcs while running in permissive mode:

Bob:

I had the same problem when I installed kmod-nvidia.  I'm not sure 
what caused the issues but right after I installed it I logged out 
and then logged in and it worked fine but gave me the same messages 
you got when I rebooted.  I uninstalled and rebooted and still had 
the error messages.  I thought it was a selinux issue so I relabled 
the whole disk.  Then I rebooted again and reinstalled kmod-nvidia 
then immediately rebooted again.  This time it worked fine.  So I'm 
not sure that what the fix was, the relabling or the rebooting 
immediately, but give it a try.

Yes, I just ran a 'yum update' and it seems to be fixed now. :)

Many thanks, for all the replies.
