Hello,

I just install a system with ScientificLinux7.2(rhel clone) running kodi 14.2, and ati video drivers installed. I can view video files via vlc,
but when I startup kodi my screen looks like this:

What is causing this and how can I fix it?

Hello frisch,

Thanks for taking the time to reply.

According to this wiki my graphics card is supported. I have a a AMD/ATI Radeon HD 5000 Series.

Why is the graphics card supported but not the driver?

We only support the OSS drivers.

I didn't know that, thanks for the help! Smile

I'll have to look for an oss driver that supports my videocard then.

Ubuntu / LibreELEC all work out of the box with your GPU including hw acceleration. Even with newest version available.

Thanks for the tip. I got it work with VDPAU. Had to install these packages: libvdpau, libva-vdpau-driver,mesa-dri-drivers
