    I've been running version 11 for a while on an old Sandy Bridge desktop. Upon upgrading to 12 I get no HDMI signal from either port. Checking the log (https://paste.libreelec.tv/ample-mite.log) I'm seeing:

    I've tried adding the following lines to /storage/.config/kodi.conf but Kodi doesn't load at all with them present (despite no signal I can tell when it's running because the Yatse Android remote connects once it's up):


    Code
    MESA_LOADER_DRIVER_OVERRIDE=i965
    LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME=i965


    Is Sandy Bridge just no longer supported? Would a fresh install using Generic Legacy solve this?

    Tried installing 19.4 today on an old 2nd gen (Sandy Bridge) machine and xorg fails to start. 18.9 still works properly. I assume this has something to do with the newer Linux kernel (5.10 instead of 5.1), but unsure as I don't see other Linux users complaining about this generation of CPU no longer working. Is there anything I can do to pull an updated driver or something?
