I asked about this error before on another thread because I didn't know what the real problem was.
So here it is:
No matter what I do, I cannot get xrandr to work correctly and it appears as if I have no display when, in fact, one is plugged in and working!
I have a simple add-on to check display settings under kodi as such:
I expected to see display settings but I only get "Can't open display" instead.
fbset provides more information but still fails to list available displays:
I am running the latest 64 bit verion of Raspberry Pi OS:
Outside of kodi, when starting GUI using startx, everything works correctly and xrandr opens display as HDMI-1.
Does anyone know what name kodi uses for the active display?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
