I’ve been upgrading the GPU in my Lakka machine from a R9 270 to a nVidia 970, and the nVidia 970 I put in won’t boot up correctly. I’ve tried deleting the retroarch.cfg. When I tried to boot with the 970 I get weird lines and the top of the TV, but when I use nomodeset in syslinux.cfg it loads correctly up to “Reached Target RetroArch” and gets stuck.
Help please.
We rely on drm/kms so if you added nomodeset it won’t work. Is it possible to to get the log without nomodeset ?
Theoretically, it should work but we may have to update the kernel to get better result as we are currently running 4.11.12.

This is without nomodeset.

We see also in the log

We should try to make a test with a new kernel.
Can you try with the LE9 experimental build, it will use xorg.
Thank you.
failed to start xorg. is your GPU supported?
then it lists the connected devices. The 970 is showing.
So we have to wait when we update the kernel version if it fixes your issue.
OK all good. I’ll stick with my 270. I was hoping to run Vulkan.
Thanks again keep up the great coding. Wish I could help you guys/gals if I knew how to code.
