I recently built myself a stand-in computer while I get a new CPU for my other one, but I have run into this problem whilst trying to play minecraft (every version does it.)
org.lwjgl.LWJGLException: Pixel format not accelerated
I don't think the Radeon 2100 series supports OpenGL 2.1...Might be the source or one of your problems. It would throw an exception instead if that was really the case. Some people have had luck rolling back to 1.7.4 or lower for GPU related issues. The error in your log states display problem.
What you currently have installed are Microsoft generic drivers, which do not have full OpenGL support. Please also note that the launcher automatically updates LWJGL as needed, it will always be on the latest version from Minecraft 1.6.x onwards. On the topic of allocation, setting both maximum and minimum heap can cause issues, you may want to only specify the maximum, -Xmx.

Hi,
I recently built myself a stand-in computer while I get a new CPU for my other one, but I have run into this problem whilst trying to play minecraft (every version does it.)
org.lwjgl.LWJGLException: Pixel format not accelerated
I have already tried
-Updating my Graphics Drivers through windows update and through the instructions given on http://hopper.minecraft.net/help/pixel-format-not-accelerated/
-Updating my lwjgl to the latest version
-Setting minecraft to run with the arguments "-Xmx552M -Xms552M"
but none have worked,
Plz halp,
Joshua Flanagan

Rolling back to older versions doesn't seem to help, it just comes up with the same crash
Guess I'll just have to wait until I get my good pc working till I can play mc
Thanks for the help
