Re: Fedora 7 nvidia issues
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:

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.
