So i had stopped playing minecraft for about a year, but when 1.9 came out, i wanted to try it out again. When i started up, everything seemed fine, then it crashed.

I saw the openGL error and the NullPointerException error, but i have no idea what to do about them. Earlier i had a loadlibrary error, but completely uninstalling minecraft seemed to fix that. At the top it also says "LWJGLException: Pixel format not accelerated" and i have no idea what that means or if it is even a problem. I an decent with technology but this is far beyond my knowledge, so if anyone could lend a hand that would be amazing. If you want to communicate faster than just using the forums you can steam message me. Steam is ninjaassassinguy.

post a dxdiag log

A lot of us are having this error. There was a solution that I used in which you enable JVM Arguments in the profile settings, then delete everything in the string except for "-Xmx1G". It worked perfectly for me.

this is a totally different error to the new ones from the 1.9 update, changing ram allocation won't fix bad drivers
