kodi 17 no HW acceleration then started under xinit/systemd

Hello

Need help or advice

I have compiled kodi 17 from source on CentOs 7.2
on system Elitegroup Q170-SF100 (V1.0)
http://www.ecs.com.tw/ECSWebSite/Product...40&LanID=0
GL82Q170 graphic chipset - intel q170 express chipset linux graphics driver - Intel HD 510 graphics

Linux Kernel 4.7.3 self-compiled with "i915.preliminary_hw_support=1" in kernel startup parameters .
Intel drivers taken from https://01.org/linuxgraphics/downloads/2...ack-recipe (i compiled only Libva - 1.7.3 and vaapi intel-driver - 1.7.3)
So after "i915.preliminary_hw_support=1" and intel libva i was able to build Kodi 17 without errors and with VAAPI support

Started from comand line in basic graphic user session GDM Kodi definitely use HW acceleration. I can see it then press button "o" during HD movi play. Smooth vidio and 5% to 8% main CPU usage depending of movie file.

Then i prepared systemd script, disabled GDM start, and emabled kodi start by "systemctl enable kodi"
Started from systemd kodi uses CPU up to 99-100% and video play becomes laggy.


Here is systemd service script just in case.
