I have kodi start up at full screen after boot. The OS is Archbang and the open source driver in use is radeon. My monitor displays 4K at 30 Hz and the resulting resolution is good for viewing. Since Archbang is a rolling release I am current with the kernels and drivers. However over the last month or so it boots up to a full black screen. My remedy has always been to do a fresh reinstall of kodi with the default configuration. After it fixes the full black screen issue, I replace the default configuration with my customized one . Now this remedy doesn't seem to guarantee success always.
The forum suggested methods mentioned below also did not work for me :

1. using the "\" for collapsing the full black screen to window mode
   
2. editing the guisettings.xml to replace the word "DESKTOP" with "WINDOW"
   

Anybody with any other suggestions/pointers etc?

Use a stable OS.
