I forgot about this one, this will probably help.
But they will need to stay in updates-testing for now.  As this need
to be really tested.
If unsure prefer to use setsebool -P allow_execstack on

BTW nVidia has released support for legacy driver and xorg-server 1.7 yesterday.
/me working on it right now. (thoses will needs execstack too)
