Summary: SELinux is preventing X(/usr/bin/Xorg) (xdm_xserver_t) "ioctl" to /dev/video48 (v4l_device_t). Detailed Description: [SELinux in permissive mode, the operation would have been denied but was permitted due to enforcing mode.] SELinux denied access requested by X(/usr/bin/Xorg). It is not expected that this access is required by X(/usr/bin/Xorg) 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 /dev/video48, restorecon -v /dev/video48 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 FAQ (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 bug report (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi) against this package.
