The problem is apparently in the mesa drivers not being compatible with the minor changes to the GPU made with the RPi 5 2GB revision. Apparently those changes have also been implemented with later RPi 5 4GB (and probably 8GB) models.

Could the updated Mesa drivers also be added to the Xbian release so I can get my new Pi 5 up and running?

Have the new RPi 5 compatible Mesa driver updates been integrated into Xbian yet, or can we manually add them to the current release to get Kodi working properly?
