Description Eric P 2015-12-22 13:11:38 UTC
Description of problem:

I recently updated my system to CentOS 7.2 (from 7.1).  It has a motherboard model Intel X7SPA-HF with Matrox video.  I was using synergy from EPEL (synergy-1.6.2-3.el7.x86_64).  This worked fine under Cent 7.1.  After the update to 7.2, however, synergys will not run.  Running it with "synergys -f" in the foreground says:

2015-12-19T21:14:41 DEBUG: opening configuration "/home/user/.synergy.conf"

I was able to downgrade my xorg-x11-drv-* and this allowed it to work again.
