Screen issues with AMD Xpress Grafick

  • Hello Girls and Guys,
    I want to use LibreElec on one of my old HP T5730 thin clients. The installation is working very well but i have massive problems with screen flickering and graphic artifacts. I use LibreElec V7.0.3. Is some issue or bugfix known?

  • Radeon Xpress 1200/1250/1270 is a simply too old graphics solution for LibreELEC.
    Kodi requires at least decent OpenGL support for its GUI, and preferably hardware video acceleration for smooth video play.
    None of these are present on your indeed old machine.

    Get a simple Raspberry Pi 3, it has lots more graphics capabilities than the prehistoric AMD gpus.
