HDMI from laptop stops Libreelec load

Libreelec works fine on the primary display of the laptop. But it fails if I have an HDMI plugged into HDMI port going to a Denon receiver.

Primary display (laptop screen) is black. HDMI display shows this error:

Code

[FAILED] Failed to start Xorg Server
See 'systemct1 status xorg.service' for details
[DEPEND] Dependency failed for Fluxbox Window Manager

LibreELEC release: Generic.x86_64-8.1.2
Laptop Model: Acer V5-571p

Intel HD 3000 Graphics

AVR: Denon AVR-591

Kodi Debugging Log:

ijOH

systemctl status xorg.service

AcLF

lspci

jDTA

dmesg

AYGD

All of these logs were pulled when the laptop had the error. Restarting without HDMI allows the laptop to boot normally. I can pull logs from when the laptop boots normally (without the HDMI going to Denon receiver) if needed.
Laptop is able to display and booth through 2ND HDMI to Denon fine in Win & Ubuntu.

And I have swapped out the HDMI cable.

I think I may need a custom Xorg.conf or EDID.bin but I'm not not sure how to troubleshoot.

There are Intel video driver crashes in your dmesg.

You can try latest Milhouse Testbuild with updated kernel and drivers. Create a backup before, this updates Kodi to v18/Leia.

I'll give that a try tonight after I finish up some papers.

Post back with results.

Thank you guys for the help!

mgale: updating to the latest Millhouse Testbuild (20171013004051) worked!

HDMI working fine.

Please let me know if I can leave anymore info to help others.
