Bug Switching to Full Screen results Black Screen
#1
Bug 
When I start Kodi, it starts in windowed mode. 
But, when I change to full screen, the screen becomes black. 

Switching back to a windowed mode, still shows just a black screen. 
Kodi is not frozen, because I can hear the GUI sounds, when I press buttons. Maybe it has only problem with overlay rendering. 
But I don't know how to fix it. 

I updated Linux Mint to the latest version (updated on 2017.10.06), Kodi 17.4. I had no problem with earlier version of Linux Mint and the bundled Kodi 16.


Code:
cat /etc/os-release
NAME="Ubuntu"
VERSION="14.04.5 LTS, Trusty Tahr"
ID=ubuntu
ID_LIKE=debian
PRETTY_NAME="Ubuntu 14.04.5 LTS"
VERSION_ID="14.04"
HOME_URL="http://www.ubuntu.com/"
SUPPORT_URL="http://help.ubuntu.com/"
BUG_REPORT_URL="http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/"


Any idea how to fix it?

We cannot help you without a Debug Log , but to be honest: VERSION="14.04.5 LTS, Trusty Tahr" - Please upgrade to a newer version at least something not being nearly 4 years old would help.
First decide what functions / features you expect from a system. Then decide for the hardware. Don't waste your money on crap.
