After installing the Nvidia driver I tried to enable special effects
but was thwarted by an AVC denial.  I couldn't get the acceleration
enabled until I turned off SElinux.

It seems with Fedora and SElinux is it simply a matter of time
before SElinux throws a spanner in the works at which time
I have to get rid of it.

A security tool that is incompatible with normal use to the
extent it must be disabled offers no real security.  Perhaps
it should be an add-on for security geeks instead of a default
annoyance.
