Hello,
I updated to last Ubuntu version, and installed nvdia 340 from nvidia.com.
I have tryed with kodi inside Ubuntu official and with ppa, but I have the same problem: when start kodi-bin use 100% of CPU, and was very slowly also when navigate into the menu.
Regards

This configuration that was missing, is inside kodi or xorg? I have already checked the xorg conf file file, and the is the nvdia driver specified.
Do you think I can install the nouveau driver?

It's in Ubuntu - has nothing to do with kodi. No proper hw acceleration - no nicely running kodi.
First decide what functions / features you expect from a system. Then decide for the hardware. Don't waste your money on crap.

Hello,
i have an update, I write here, so other user may solve the problem if has a same problem.
I installed dkms package and I reinstalled nvidia driver, now the cpu usage seems less than before.
(Now I'm out of my home, and I can't try to play some video).
After this installation my kodi logs says:
10:16:27 T:139763826989440 NOTICE: GL_VENDOR = NVIDIA Corporation
10:16:27 T:139763826989440 NOTICE: GL_RENDERER = ION/PCIe/SSE2
10:16:27 T:139763826989440 NOTICE: GL_VERSION = 3.3.0 NVIDIA 340.96
I have used the nvidia source driver (340.96), because the one included in ubuntu have too many dipendences, I don't want to install all desktop packages.
I must use the 340 driver, because is the only compatible with my video card.

--no-install-recommends as option to apt-get will help.
