Hello! No updates for days until 2015-04-01. Then presented with huge steaming pile of updates all at once, apparently related to Centos 7.1 release. Not thinking about it being April Fools Day, I immediately did: yum -v check-update, then yum -v update then rebooted. After reboot, there is a problem with the video. It seems to flicker when the mouse pointer touches the screen edges. Also, sometimes when viewing pages in Firefox, the window becomes partially covered with horizontal black lines. During reboots, before the login screen appears, there are quickly disappearing messages seeming to include references to "drm:9" and some sort of "underrun". In the terminal window, I get a message: ABRT has detected 3 problem(s). For more info run: abrt-cli list --since 1428078184 When I do that, I get: id (blah, blah) reason: WARNING: at drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_display.c:869 intel_wait_for_vblank+0x211/0x220 [i915]() time: Fri 03 Apr 2015 11:41:49 AM CDT cmdline: BOOT_IMAGE=/vmlinuz-3.10.0-229.1.2.el7.x86_64 root=UUID=(blah, blah) ro vconsole.keymap=us vconsole.font=latarcyrheb-sun16 rhgb quiet LANG=en_US.UTF-8 count: 1 Directory: /var/tmp/abrt/oops-2015-04-03-11:41:49-590-0 id (blah, blah) reason: WARNING: at drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_display.c:869 intel_wait_for_vblank+0x211/0x220 [i915]() time: Wed 01 Apr 2015 12:02:12 PM CDT cmdline: BOOT_IMAGE=/vmlinuz-3.10.0-229.1.2.el7.x86_64 root=UUID=(blah, blah) ro vconsole.keymap=us vconsole.font=latarcyrheb-sun16 rhgb quiet LANG=en_US.UTF-8 package: kernel count: 11 Directory: /var/tmp/abrt/oops-2015-04-01-12:02:11-1220-1 Reported: cannot be reported id (blah, blah) reason: WARNING: at drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_display.c:869 intel_wait_for_vblank+0x211/0x220 [i915]() time: Fri 03 Apr 2015 11:41:49 AM CDT cmdline: BOOT_IMAGE=/vmlinuz-3.10.0-229.1.2.el7.x86_64 root=UUID=(blah, blah) ro vconsole.keymap=us vconsole.font=latarcyrheb-sun16 rhgb quiet LANG=en_US.UTF-8 Directory: /var/tmp/abrt/oops-2015-04-03-11:41:49-590-1 Reported: cannot be reported The Autoreporting feature is disabled. Please consider enabling it by issuing 'abrt-auto-reporting enabled' as a user with root privileges. So is this line where the problem may be?: drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_display.c:869 intel_wait_for_vblank+0x211/0x220 [i915]() Started to search online for information, but quickly decided: 1) available info is over my head 2) when in a hole, stop digging So, any obvious answers, other than a complete reinstall? Note: I really thought Centos is about reinstalling after years, not months. Grrr . . .

Well, it could be the same, but the bug report does seem to refer to the bug being in kernel series 3.18. I am just using whatever 3.10 series kernel comes standard with Centos 7.x. I don't know anything about bug reports, and I an not familiar with swapping out kernels in Centos. BTW, is El Repo another name for the EPEL repository?
