I was able to get Debian 9 mostly compatible, by using the latest 5.X 
kernel, however, opengl didn't seem to be supported.  So instead of 
trying to patch that up, I bit the bullet and upgraded to 10, then to 
11.

Now everything seems to be fully compatible. GL version shows 4.6, and 
GL Renderer is Mesa Intel(R) UHD Graphics 610.


I use a number of zenity dialogs for showing info or asking questions on 
this system.  On the Deb 9 system, these dialogs displayed with a 
reasonable width/height, without explicitly setting either --width or 
--height options.  However, after upgrading, I noticed the info, 
warning, and question dialogs display only about 10 text characters per 
line.  For instance, zenity --info --text "The quick brown fox jumped 
over the lazy dogs", displays in 5 rows, instead of in 1 row like it 
used to before upgrading.  The behaviour is the same on a fresh install 
of 11.

Was curious if anyone else had issues with this, and if there is a way 
to change the default behaviour.  Or do I need to go through and add 
--width and --height options in every instance where zenity is used?

Thanks!
Allen
