I built kodi-gbm (18.3 official with no patches) on my RPi4.  I am unable to start kodi/failure to create the GUI.  I'm wondering what I'm missing (dependency maybe)?

Code:

ERROR: Unable to create GUI. Exiting
ERROR: Unable to create GUI. Exiting
ERROR: Unable to create GUI. Exiting
/usr/bin/kodi --standalone has exited in an unclean state 3 times in the last 23 seconds.
Something is probably wrong

Debug log
kodi.service I am using but I get the same error if I run kodi as the physically logged in kodi user.

Details about the kodi user:

Code:

# id kodi
uid=971(kodi) gid=971(kodi) groups=971(kodi),90(network),98(power),5(tty),995(audio),994(disk),993(input),990(optical),988(storage),986(video)

Thread moved to Raspberry forum section.

I added the following lines to /boot/config.txt (following the example from Raspbian) and it worked upon a reboot.

Code:

[pi4]
# Enable DRM VC4 V3D driver on top of the dispmanx display stack
dtoverlay=vc4-fkms-v3d
max_framebuffers=2

As expected, playing any content (x264 or x265) without acceleration is choppy with all 4 cores maxed out, but at least I am able to get the kodi binary to launch!

EDIT: I also get some dmesg errors:

Code:
