On my Pi 5/8GB, which is over 1 year old, everything works as it should and so I can't test anything else.

You could try installing the newer Mesa packages from the bookworm backport repo and if it works with these (they are from january 3rd) then I can take them all over.

To do this, create the following file in /etc/apt/preferences.d

Quote:root@kmxbilr5 /etc/apt/preferences.d # cat /etc/apt/preferences.d/03bookworm-backports
#
# Mesa Packages
#
Package: libgl1-mesa-dri libdrm-amdgpu1 libdrm-common libdrm-etnaviv1 libdrm-nouveau2 libdrm-radeon1 libdrm2 libegl-mesa0 libgbm1 libglapi-mesa libglx-mesa0 mesa-libgallium mesa-libgallium
Pin: release n=bookworm-backports
Pin-Priority: 1001

and add a line in /etc/apt/sources.list like this:

Quote:deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ bookworm-backports main contrib non-free non-free-firmware

after that a

Code:

sudp apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libgl1-mesa-dri

should update the packages

I did this with my 32-bit Pi5 installation and Kodi desktop looks as usual

That fixed the issue with the 64-bit build I tried and now Kodi looks like it should.
Thank you so much!
