I just finished a fresh install of 7.4 on an ASUS motherboard of which Centos now does not recognize the video monitor. I was required to do a 'Basic Graphic' install instead of a full graphic install with the new 7.4 iso. After a successful install I tried to change the resolution of the screen display but Centos was unable to do so because it did not recognize the monitor. This was not a problem with 7.3. The Mother board is : Manufacturer: ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC. Product Name: B150M-A/M.2 Version: Rev X.0x The CPU is : Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-6600K CPU @ 3.50GHz It does not appear that Centos is recognizing the capability of the mother board. Does anyone have ideas as to a solution for this. I am not certain even buying a video card would make a difference. Pete... what card did you purchase that worked??? Greg

At one point I managed to get a graphical display but at the resolution was extremely low 800x640 I believe, and no way to change it because it didn't look like the kernel recognized the monitor at all. I just took a stab at a card figuring that no one else seemed to be having issues. I don't do anything graphically intensive so I just looked for what I thought was a good deal , and this card looked like a good deal, with a $10 rebate https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00FW5B3ZO/ref=od_aui_detailpages00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Pete -- Unencumbered by the thought process. -- Click and Clack the Tappet brothers -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

I ordered one from Newegg.... Thanks again. Sure hope 7.4 gets fixed; I stopped doing any additional updates. Greg
