Selinux is disabled on my machine and, to answer Josh, I can't run nouveau
on this machine with the 3.6 kernel as, to run nouveau on this machine, I
need to disable acceleration and whenever I do that with the kernel switch
that I used with the 3.5 kernel the machine won't even boot up...it locks
up hard when it tries to load the nouveau driver.  If I leave acceleration
on when I try to run starts X crashes.  I've filed multiple bugzillas about
this with no response so I had to switch to using the nvidia driver (which
I didn't want to do but in order to use the latest rawhide kernels had no
choice) and now even that doesn't work.

[root at ktmtoshiba]# sestatus
SELinux status:                 disabled

Thanks.
