<pre>Hello. I reinstalled a fresh Fedora version 24 64 bit from their website after
formatting the previous system since I had an issue where a dnf update caused
heavy screen flickering on my computer.
The formatting fixed the issue but as soon as I updated through the command
sudo dnf check-update; sudo dnf update -y and restarted the issue came back. A
restart and a launch into the backup kernel version 4.5.5 fixed the issue
again.
I will continue to try to find this issue because it is borderline unbearable.
My computer specs are as follows:
Lenovo Thinkpad Edge E540 using an Intel i915 video card and a Geforce GT 740M.
Again, this is a completely fresh install compared to nothing but a dnf update.
As far as I know this started the very first kernel update after installing
Fedora 24. I think it was 4.6.7.300 or something like that.
As of today I'm still using the old 4.5.5 kernel since thats the only one not
causing screen flicker.
I have installed the latest kernel (4.7.3) and tried that and to no good
effect.</pre>
