What mini PC? If it is a Intel one yes. For AMD GPUs it depends.

The last 5 posts here 105887 – (ford) [GLK] no signal after switch resolution from [email protected] say that the final GLK HDMI bugfix is not that final and at the moment the way is to use the workaround with i915.glkhdmi=2 with one of the two patches in this post #44 i created from here ubuntu-4.15.0-23.25...4.15.0-23.25-glktesting and slightly changed for 4.16 (4.17 works too) and backported for 4.14. There is no harm in doing this, because it is off by default and you need to enable it as kernel parameter. Here in this thread are kind of confirmations that my 4.14 backport is working.

Sadly no developer checked my backpot no answer in this thread GLK HDMI workarounds backport to 4.14 needs a review.

That is a interessting and unexpected outcome, because the patch was explicitly for Gemini Lake NUC.

The "final" GLK HDMI bugfix seems not to work at least not for porkchop999 and his box is the target of the patch. Probably using the one with command line parameter.

The GLk HDMI patch in milhouse build #0611c should be automatic without the kernel parameter. The code for i915.glkhdmi=2 is not in the kernel. Please test removing the kenrel command and check if it is like before with my build and i915.glkhdmi=2. It should be. If it is not workin i have a idea what it could be and will find out how to fix it. The patch is written vor Intel Gemini Lake NUC and i hope it works with asrock too.

My builds still need the command line parameter.

I am trying at the moment to rebuild milhouse test build and put my changes on top of that.

Quote from milhouse

I enabled Frame Buffer Compression as in theory it should increase the effective memory bandwidth - have you had any problems with it?

I do fear problems with unwilling hardware, as the quote says "check its availability on your hardware before enabling this option" and we dont know all hardware where it is running on. Just a precaution.

Quote from milhouse

The complete source of my build is included within the tar file - there's a file called milhouse.build.0610.tar.gz within the tar file, if you extract this and then extract the contents you'll have all my build scripts, and the configuration for the build, plus all the patches. If you extract the contents of the milhouse tar, cd to a "clean" LibreELEC repository, then run <milhouse tar contents>/config/reset.sh it will apply all of my patches to the repository.

milhouse i am struggeling to rebuild your #0610b with kernel 4.17. That reset.sh applies both patches and after that it becomes tricky. For the live of it i could not figure out how to build it with all the packages updates, which are not in those patches. Probably i need to create a github account. I tried without.

That package problem aside, i try to build just with libreelec.patch and project.patch. The first fail is i need a milhouse.buildcode, but that was easy fixable.

The second one with a clean build

I had the same problem as i first tried your 00_mesa1811_xorg120_combo.txt patch and then failed back to PR2739 to get Mesa 18.1.1.

It was fresh checkt out and nothing else than reset.sh followed by make image was done.

My kernel config for AMD DC is different than yours

Quote

Choose this option if you want to use frame buffer compression support. This is a power optimisation feature, check its availability on your hardware before enabling this option.

i am not sure about that one and it is off

# CONFIG_DRM_AMD_DC_FBC is not set

Quote

Choose this option if you want to have Raven family for display engine

and this need to be on

CONFIG_DRM_AMD_DC_DCN1_0=y

Quote from milhouse

4.17 version of my most recent #0610 build is here: libreelec-generic.x86_64-9.0-milhouse-20180610225938-#0610b-g783ddf0.tar

It is missing the DVB addons, and the improved IR timeout handling (fixed soon, hopefully) but should be functional - it boots on a Skylake i5 NUC and a Revo3700 (ION2/Atom).

And on a Haswell i3 NUC and Coffee Lake i3-8100 UEFI only it runs too.

My GLK Bug 105887 patches i use

kernel-4.14.47-GLK-bug-105887-2-workarounds-2018-05-28.patch.txt

kernel-4.16.13-GLK-bug-105887-2-workarounds-2018-05-28.patch.txt that one works also with 4.17

but there seems to be a more final one, but i did not use it so far

Intel GFX - Patchwork

and my xorg server pci_id updates

xorg-server-1.19.6-sync_pci_ids_1.20.0.patch.txt

You can see what i have changed from the git checkout in my release posts. The 2 you want to look are #26 and #29. They are both running fine in short test without crashing kodi.

Here is my LE9 build targeted for AMD Vega / Raven APU and this was the reason i started this thread. All the Intel GPUs are fine too.

Yes. df52423 is the LE master tree from 2 days ago (just checked).

Sorry guys problems with a AMD build with df52423 and bfd442a. The one does not build and the other show just a black screen with kernel 4.17.

I am not sure that i will get a AMD build done next week, but i will keep trying when i find time.

more builds to download HiDrive

A fresh full build of df52423 with the changes from the quote is working right now.

HiassofT

Thank you now i am getting somewhere with bfd442a.

So the release versions in the first post are rubbish, because LE master is a too fast moving target. I will make builds and post the difference between LE master commit id and my build. Sorry that will be long but that is the only way that you know what you are installing.

so here are the first 3 builds HiDrive

next i try to build bfd442a-kodi-5da94d1 with kernel 4.17 and new amdgpu firmware

Thanks for the tip. The build bfd442ae06 is now compiling. Tonight i was also thinking to go before the gcc update. I did also try to add PR2725, but that did not build. I did also try update kodi to 5da94d1.

When the compiling is done i will test more.
