also yea sorry i guess i didnt think to mention the card because it worked in another libreelec machine i upgraded, which is why im frustrted now that it wasnt as plug and play as lastime. i cannot figure out why xorg-nvidia-legacy.conf is even loading becaue the graphics card isnt even in lspci on linux mint or the hardware log of kodi
for reference
here is a very detailed lspci from linux mint. its really hard to get a console on libreelec for some reason with this specific xorg problem.
card is an ati branded HD7570
