Hope I am doing this right. Installed Fedora Preview 11 (which looks amazing
by the way) and installed the RPM Fusion Drivers for ATI. After config and
reboot, crashes with several messages like
avc: denied {search} for pid=176 comm = "readahead_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:
object_r:sysctl_irq_t:s0 tclass=dir type=1400 audit(1241493896.514:47286):
This is on a Core i7 system with X58 Board and ATI 4870X2 ASUS BRAND...
Help?
