	Hello!

   I am trying to utilize proprietary video drivers from (the damned) AMD
 to get accelerated OpenGL on the ATI Mobility Radeon X300 on Fedora 11.
 So I have installed the packages (along with the required dependencies):
	akmod-catalyst
	xorg-x11-drv-catalyst
 Installation has finished quite smoothly, but after reboot I get no X.
 I guess, one of the reasons is the atieventsd is not starting due to selinux:

 For now I have to put selinux in permissive mode,
 but is it possible to get this fixed in a more intelligent way?
 Thank you.
