Weird, it works perfectly fine here with the xorg.conf file above and LE 8.0.

I recorded two 240fps videos last week to illustrate the difference and posted them here:
Intel Apollo Lake

As a response to my feedback, the Kodi developer fritsch created a custom build of his HEVC 10bit LibreELEC build with DRI3 enabled and the latest version of Mesa. On my NUCs, this works just as good as stock LE 8.0 + custom xorg.conf file.

You can try this build, as it has DRI3 enabled by default and hence doesn't need any custom xorg.conf file:
Index of /openelec/hevc10/dri3

Just remove your custom xorg.conf file, download the file LibreELEC-Generic.x86_64-8.0.0-dri3.tar into /storage/.update and reboot your system.

Btw, have you configured your GUI to run in 60Hz? If you choose something lower, you will most likely experience that the menus feel sluggish, but that has nothing to do with DRI3

I'm experiencing the same issue and have posted a bug report here:

Hi,

Booting a NUC7i3BNH with LibreELEC v.7.95.1 BETA results in non-working Bluetooth, as the firmware is missing:

[    3.419922] Bluetooth: Core ver 2.22
[    3.419932] Bluetooth: HCI device and connection manager initialized
[    3.419935] Bluetooth: HCI socket layer initialized

Downloading the firmware from kernel.org into /storage/.config/firmware/intel/ibt-12-16.* fixes the issue.

The firmware was added to the kernel in November 2016:
kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git - Repository of firmware blobs for use with the Linux kernel

Any chance to get this firmware included in LibreELEC v8.0? Thanks..

Hi,

Upgrading from LibreELEC v7.90.010 ALPHA to v7.95.1 BETA have resulted in sluggish menus on my Intel Compute Stick STK1A32SC (Cherry Trail / x5-Z8330). I also have a couple of Intel NUCs running LibreELEC 7.90.010, but I haven't tested the update on these yet.

On 7.90.010 window transitions are very smooth and good-looking, while they are cleary more sluggish on 7.95.1.

I can see in the commit list that there's been a change from DRI3 to DRI2 by default for ATI and Intel.

I have not experienced any graphical issues with Intel and the LibreELEC 8.0 Alpha releases, so this change is a major regression for me.

Is there any pretty/easy way to force the use of DRI3 at runtime in LibreELEC? Temporarily for testing and/or permanently, if DRI2 will remain the default for newer Intel HW on the final release of LibreELEC 8?

Thank you in advance.

Best regards
Kenni
