Re: [CentOS] video problem since 2015-04-01 update
I spoke too soon. Although the screen flicker has been worked around, I still intermittently get lots of horizontal black lines when going to gmail. No other distribution shows this problem, only Centos 7, and only after the 1503 updates.

Re: [CentOS] video problem since 2015-04-01 update
Updated the kernel as suggested to 3.19, did not solve problem. Unbelievable! Oh, well . . .
