Having established that's it's an SELinux issue using

# 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.

Thanks for the suggestion, Paul. Unfortunately, it didn't work. I
setenforced back to 1 after running your commands, and the old
behavior returned. I setenforced back to 0 again, and things
started working. Do I need to undo anything that your command
did? I'm sorry, but I don't know enough to understand what your
suggestion did.

Can you try:

# ls -lZ /usr/lib/ati-fglrx

All the shared libraries should be textrel_shlib_t.

Do you get the exact same error message?

The semanage command can be reverted by using "-d" (delete) instead of
"-a" (add):

# semanage fcontext -d -f -- -t textrel_shlib_t \
'/usr/lib(64)?/ati-fglrx/.*\.so(\..*)?'

Re-running the identical "restorecon" command should revert all shared
libraries in that directory to lib_t.

I was just trying to file a bug report for Fedora, but they don't
include a selinux component in the list. Should I be filing this
bug directly with selinux? I looked briefly on the selinux nsa
site, but didn't see a bugzilla page...

You probably want the selinux-policy-targeted component in Fedora Core.
Your bug might get fixed quicker though if we can identify exactly
what's needed first.

Paul.
