hi,
i have an old Latop with a intel core duo processor.
i would like to use lxde but when i start xorg i get the error open gl 2.1 needed.
i don’t know if the core duo supports this
can i run dietpi on such an old laptop with gui?
Welcome to our community.
Did you tried to change resolution using dietpi-config?
tnx,
no i did not,
i think it was set to 800x600
i´ll check tomorrow.
I still can’t get Xserver to work on my laptop.
I can’t find an option to set the resolution in dietpi-config - only the dpi.
The xorg.log mentions that opengl2.1 is required.
is there any way to run the server without opengl?
the laptop has an intel 945 gpu.
Some forums pointed out that the kernel might be too old.
(they mentioned 5.15 should work).
Is there a time frame when the amd64 will get a newer kernel than 5.10?
From our side, we don’t do own kernel development for amd64. Can you share some more system details

$G_RASPBIAN does not exist on my system
I thought that dietpi-update would also update the kernel…
I used the script and it worked fine.
The opengl required warnig is gone from the xorg.log
a new error arrived:
213: [ 654.438] (WW) glamor requires at least 128 instructions (64 reported)
in rasberrypi os is an option to deactivate glamor - is there an option in dietpi?
If course we upgrade the kernel if available. However your system was on Debian Bullseye still. Means, there was no other kernel version available. Newer kernel was introduced with Debian Bookworm on AMD64 system.
And a destro version upgrade will never be triggered by dietpi-update. This is something that needs to be done actively by the user themselves.
What model laptop, what intel core duo?
What does LSHW show?
This should help you find the chipset
