After following this thread: Kodi (formerly XBMC) for OMV
It was smothly but when I have to try... I was sure graphics were not going to work at first try but after try lot of things I think that is impossible to make graphics works with this kernel and my hardware.
MOBO: B85M-ITX (Asrock)
CPU: G3220 Intel
Graphics integrated.
I tried everything. I have omv 2.1 whit kernel backports 3.16
Afterall it seems like I will have to choose between NAS and HTPC

I personally think is the correct path, there are low powered devices that server very good as media players, like the rpi(the rpi2 even better) or the firetv stick.
If there was someway to make my intel graphics work it would be great but i dont think so.
I have a Pi but when I tried kodi it was a bit slow, and now my new hardware would be waste just for NAS.
I have just installed ubuntu server on another disk, I installed kodi and xorg server and it works.
I'm surprissed because its ubuntu 14.04 and I can see it's build over linux 3.16 so, this makes me think that debian could also works with my graphics, why not?
But I don't know how.
Ubuntu server it's just an ubuntu without desktop and other apps, I would preffer to have omv, ubuntu has no nas plugins or functions.
I will keeping searching to see if I found some info about the problem.
Ubuntu Server 14.04 has much newer libraries to go with the 3.16 kernel.
I suspossed that but then it could be possible with newer drivers or recompiling the core.
Yesterday I installed xorg version from jessie and when I tires to run xinit I didn't get any errors but I didn't start.
With wheezy repository xorg I got, DeviceID 0X401 not found or something similar.
Is omv 3.0 been built over debian jessie? Can ppl donwload it to try it? Thx!
OMV 2 was released a week ago. There is no OMV 3.0 yet but it will be based on jessie.
Sorry, I just ask because I see the option on the forum to open threads about 3.0
I will be trying a few days if I get it working, but I doesnt have much hope.
If not it should be enought with Plex.
Options to open threads about 3.0 probably are just planning ahead. There probably won't be a downloadable copy for many months.
Ok, I installed debian 7.8 and I could use graphics, no best resolution but I guess after install backports or linux-firmware-nonfree I will have different resolutions.
I tested omv and it worked perfect over the debian installation
Tomorrow I wil try a fresh install because I was getting crazy with so many systems, grub, etc. It's a mesh. And you have to add the problem with the nic, so yes, I have too many problems to make a simple install lol.
After all I think there is hope for my config.
