Did you look into /var/log/audit/audit.log ?

There is some issue with the nvidia driver (and libs) using execmode, and be 
blocked by selinux.

I would advise you to play around with audit2allow creating a local selinux 
policy module.

You also could use this module, it will fix both the execmod problem of the 
nvidia drivers, as well as an oversight of TUV about dbus and hal. Out of the 
box USB sticks and such things will not work with selinux enabled:


module physicslmu 1.0;

require {
        class dbus send_msg;
        class dir search;
        class file execmod;
        type file_t;
        type hald_t;
        type lib_t;
        type logwatch_t;
        type xdm_t;
        type xdm_xserver_t;
        role system_r;
};

allow hald_t xdm_t:dbus send_msg;
allow logwatch_t file_t:dir search;
allow xdm_t hald_t:dbus send_msg;
allow xdm_t lib_t:file execmod;
allow xdm_xserver_t lib_t:file execmod;


Sincerly,
