GPU issues on ThinkPad X201t

I have a ThinkPad X201t on Void and it runs pretty nice, aside from GPU acceleration. Now since I use it for drawing I need that to work since currently Krita is very laggy when moving around the canvas. Also GPU acceleration in the settings is disabled and I can't turn it on. I've followed the documentation to the tea and installed all of the packages I need, aside from Vulkan which is not needed in my case. Games also run poorly or not at all, indicating OpenGL doesn't work. The CPU is a first-generation i7-620M with Intel Integrated Graphics.

Extra info: lspci -k | grep -EA3 'VGA|3D|Display'

00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02)

Subsystem: Lenovo Device 215a

Kernel driver in use: i915

Kernel modules: i915

Anyone know if there is a fix?

What really bugs me is that my X220t which is one generation newer works flawlessly and has proper acceleration but I really prefer using this one because it has a 16:10 display and the battery lasts 3x as much. Thank you in advance!

How to enable modifying system apps from unknown sources on Android 16?

Trying to install a custom Wallpaper & Style app that I made but when I try I am getting blocked using the default package manager, and using "Install with Options" I get the error "system app updates from unknown sources are blocked". I already have install from unknown sources enabled in settings but it seems the system specific one is a different setting which I can't find

It happens with SVGs in every app that uses chromium, like Google Chrome, Discord, etc and no switching to a different browser is not viable because there are a bunch of applications that use electron for example and they have the same issue.

Look at the heart before and after, it is very noticable in every icon and emoji rendering and it's awful :(
