Thanks. But it looks like fritsch just quit the forum and dev community. I posted it in case someone else steps up, but I'm tempted to just go back to Kodibuntu stable or maybe OpenELEC (despite inferior performance) since this is basically a dealbreaker bug.

how to you figure that you're getting inferior performance from OpenELEC? Milhouse's OpenELEC 7.0/Kodi 17 test builds have all the EGL stuff as well, since that is all part of Kodi 17.

And fritsch's OE 6.0.98 EGL build is still the best option for most users right now

Sorry, I was really tired and put the paranthesis in the wrong place. Kodibuntu stable is the one that has inferior performance, not OE.

My issue with OpenELEC is about preference, not quality: my Chromebox is really a home server first and HTPC second, and I need easy access to run Python virtualenvs etc. Basically I need a full distro, and since the same issue seems to be present on a similar Arch setup (per the link I posted), I'm stumped as to what to do (except wait until the dust's settled around Jarvis and hope that it will solve itself).

I'll go back to Kodibuntu with Isengard for the time being. That said, is there anyone else besides fritsch that would be interested in looking at the logs I posted? I don't know which dev does what.
