Having established that's it's an SELinux issue using "setenforce 0", you might find that this is a less drastic fix: # semanage fcontext -a -f -- -t textrel_shlib_t \ '/usr/lib(64)?/ati-fglrx/.*\.so(\..*)?' # restorecon -Rv /usr/lib/ati-fglrx After doing that, try "setenforce 1" and see if things still work. If so, include the result of this test in your SELinux bug report. Paul.
