I upgraded from 7.3 to 7.4 over the weekend. Everything went well except that I can't login because the screen is black with a cursor.
If reboot boot the 7.3 kernel 3.10.0-514.26.2.el7.x86_64 kernel everything works just fine, so my guess is that there's a kernel issue with the hardware, specifically the Skylake processor.
Video, not the CPU, unless the CPU's also doing video.
mark, fighting 7.4 and two users who need the 304 NVidia driversAgreed if I was using an add-on video card, however I'm just using the no-board video.
I'm using 7.4/Mate on a Dell machine with Skylake i5-7500/Graphics 630, without any issues. I installed 7.3 then did initial updates via CR, and then the final ones when released the other day. Had to change my default mate theme (due to gtk2/3 issues) but otherwise all has been fine.
Hmm I did the same thing other than the Dell and i5-7500, I didn't use CR but waited for the official release. I wonder if I'm experiencing the same theme issue with my mate these If that is the what should I look for to verify that gtk2/3 is the issue, or what theme are you using?

The mate-gtk2/3 issue effects windows/menus/scrollbars and the like, not the login screen. See:
https://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos/2017-August/165955.html
for that issue. I switched to the Adwaita theme, as suggested there.
