[Judy]

When I install OpenELEC on Intel NUC Skylake (i7), it always display "failed to start xorg. is your GPU supported?, 【OK】Started Xorg server...", then "failed to start xorg. is your GPU supported?" again and again.

The screen showed up:

https://app.box.com/s/vfq87ygryxtnhmyhizhqs8u3gpbvbo9b

I tried something as below:
1. install to USB 3.0, and boot on Skylake machine >>> error message "failed to start xorg. is your GPU supported?"
2. followed item 1, but boot on other two machine(not Skylake) >>> boot succeed , it work
3. followed item 1, then with updated file(*.tar..) >>> error message "failed to start xorg. is your GPU supported?"
4. followed item 3, but boot on other two machine(not Skylake) >>> boot succeed , it work
5. install on HDD on Skylake machine >>> error message "failed to start xorg. is your GPU supported?"
6. install Kodi application (*.exe) on Skylake machine with windows 10 >>> could run Kodi

Version: "OpenELEC-Generic.x86_64-6.0.0.img" & "OpenELEC-Generic.x86_64-6.0.98-fritsch.img"
Both of versions was same result.

Why cause failed if install OpenELEC on Skylake? The hardware should be support.
Anyone know the key problem? Thanks for your help.

You could try the latest builds by fritsch: http://fritsch.fruehberger.net/openelec/...r_testing/
But those are also the very development builds, so 'things can break'.
Also, there is this option: http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=238393

"The hardware should be supported"
Yes, it should. But .. since not every piece of hardware out there is available to the OpenELEC team for developing or testing, including the somewhat more expensive hardware solutions, it's not easy predicting every time which tricks the hardware manufacturers have up their sleeves with their latest products.

I have the same problem with i5-6600 with msi z170A gaming pro ATX

Any update on this issue...?!

As i have recently bought a brand new HTPC Shuttle XH170V equipped with Skylake based Intel Pentium G4500 (HD Graphics 530) and Intel H170 chipset.
I would love to run OpenELEC on this one, but according to this thread for now I'm stuck with a Windows 10 based system running Kodi.

Is my assumption right...?!
Or is Fritsch Fruehberger 'v17_videoplayer_testing' build already working on Intel Skylake based systems?
Or do I need to be patient to wait for proper Skylake support in OpenELEC?

This has been working for some time on the Fritsch 6.0.98 special build. If you search the forums you will find a link.

OpenElec 7.0 will have support as well, when it's available.

hello,

I have the same problem with a Skylake i5 ... But with the Fritsch version all it's OK
Can you tell me if the beta 7 is OK for Skylake i5 or not ?

With the Fritsch version I think I don't have access to all themes & options ...

Have you some info for me ? Thanks !

Hi.

Sorry if I'm stupid. I have just purchased the new GigaByte Brix GB-BSi7HT-6500 (GB-BSi7HT-6500).

It's based on Intel Core i7-6500U and Intel HD Graphics 520. I've tried more than 16 builds from this thread and other threads. from .img files that I put on a USB drive.

It won't install. It boots into a weird state, and I can't install. I have another earlier Brix that works just fine.
(see screenshot here: Image here)

I'm terrible sorry for looking stupid. I read this tread and other threads with people with same problems.

Any ideas.
