Not working on latest Pi OS #7

Using a pizeroW and debian bookworm based PiOS I only get a black screen after startx, no matter what URL I use. I can see midori running though, just nothing ever shows up on screen.

using the "Legacy" bullseye based PiOS loads pages as expected.

I would change the URL being loaded into the browser to say google.com and try to see if that starts. If it does, then the website is where I would start with.

Try loading the URL on a computer if it is being served on the same LAN.

i did, url doesn't matter, it never even gets the white midori screen, or the URL bar showing it's loading

These are potential things which you can check, i would think about solving it this way. 1) you can get away from the console, and try loading the rpi screen using VNC server. 2) Are you able to load midori using the desktop? If not, what errors does it give? 3) Is there a different browser that you can load on debian in kiosk mode instead of midori?
