hello guys, i was posting in the kodi forums about a strange bug that is there since 1.10.2017
The guys over there have no idea what caused it, so i suspect the root of it is in the libreelec code rather than in kodi.
threadpost: LibreELEC Testbuilds for x86_64 (Kodi 18.0)
in milhouse build #0930 ( LibreELEC Testbuilds for x86_64 (Kodi 18.0) ) everything works fine. all builds after that day, starting at (milhouse build #1001, LibreELEC Testbuilds for x86_64 (Kodi 18.0) ) 1.10.2017 have a either a misconfiguration or a bug with my hardware.
i don't get any text or fonts in the ui of kodi, so i went back to build #0930
pictures of the problem Dropbox - kodi
The hardware i'm using is fairly old.
It's an Intel Core 2 Duo E7300 with an Intel Corporation 82945G/GZ Integrated Graphics Controller

something in the code changed from 29.9.2017 to 1.10.2017 that is causing this bug.
after going through libreelec changelogs the only thing that happened in the libreelec code was the mesa update to 17.2.1

do you guys have any idea, if that might be the cause of the problem ? or do i have to find the error in the kodi code.
the only changes in the kodi code are here:

The thing is, that it seems i am the only person having this problem with my specific hardware.
Thx for your time and i appreciate any help because i don't wanna buy a new computer 
i'ts been running kodi for more than 10 years and still does =)
P.S. log files are here LibreELEC Testbuilds for x86_64 (Kodi 18.0)
