"selinux=0" works I'll do the .autorelabel
.autorelabel doesn't get everything apparently. From a texmode boot as
user, startx for the graphical desktop fails saying it can't find a
screen. The ati 5450 has on a minimal xinitrc with no screen paragraphs.
However, from root it works.
Put selinux=0 in the kernal command in grub allows user to dos startx
but there are I/O problems with the mouse.
All the permissions look as expected
