Hi all,
I need to install BirtualBox OSE guest additions in TinyCore for VirtualBox OSE.
Is it possible to have the seamless mouse pointer integration with the Windows host and TC guest with VirtualBox Guest additions/addons ??
has any one tried this before.
Please guide me.

Have you tried the VBox-OSE-additions-x11 extension?

I installed VBox-OSE-additions-x11 extension and restarted, next time boot process stops in Command line, X dos not work.
when i try to start X, through startx command; following error is shown
/usr/local/bin/Xorg: error while loading shared libraries: libpixman-1.so.0: can not open shared object file or directory.
-
This means you need to load the pixman extension

thanks juanito, i installed pixman now, but now the same error for missing libssl, which needs ?? how to solve this dependency problem?
-
Make sure you are running the current version of TC.
-
It looks to me like if you're using the latest version of tc and you load VBox-OSE via the appbrowser then the deps should be loaded as well?
-
Just tested in a clean VM and TC 2.11. all deps are downloaded and X starts with "startx" after DL. There is a small issue with the additions extension which I have described and given a workaround for here: http://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php?topic=1174.msg32247#msg32247 (http://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php?topic=1174.msg32247#msg32247)

dear all,
thanks, i got that working on 2.11 :)
How do i change the resolution in Xorg?
in case of Xvesa before i jus changed the resolution value in .xsession file.
But now i am little confused with xorg.conf
-
IIRC you could try the xrandr command (included in 'Xorg-7.4.tcz').

You can try also
http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/tinycorelinux/2.x/tcz/lxrandr.tcz.info
which is in the repo.

You need a section something like
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Card0"
Monitor "Monitor0"
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 24
Modes "1280x800" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
EndSubSection
EndSection
..but google is your friend

If you are still running inside VirtualBox, then after you start the VBoxClient apps you can simple resize the VM window and the xorg resolution will be changed to fill the window. If you are no longer running inside VirtualBox, then you should start a new topic to not confuse others.

Thanks juanito :) :) i could change the resolution
i am still working inside virtual box,
How can i make the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file to be persistent?
when i unpack the Xorg.7.4.tcz , i could find the xorg.conf.vesa but not just xorg.conf.
could any one please tell how will the xorg.conf file be created in filesystem from the Xorg.tcz contents?

add etc/X11/xorg.conf to /opt/.filetool.lst and set up backup/restore from the panel

$ sudo cp /tmp/tcloop/Xorg-7.4/etc/X11/xorg.conf.vesa /etc/X11/xorg.conf
-
The VBox-OSE-additions-x11 extension includes an xorg.conf that is compatible with VBox.

$ sudo cp /tmp/tcloop/Xorg-7.4/etc/X11/xorg.conf.vesa /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Hi juanito,
this one can be done after extraction only.
as u guided i need to add a custom line for resolution inside xorg.cong file.
Could any one please help me how to make the modified xorg.conf file persistent with a live ISO.
I will then re-master the iso to be packed with all VBox guest additions and the fixed resolution.

If you remastered the iso, why not just add /etc/X11/xorg.conf to your remastered iso?
Otherwise you could modify the boot codes to restore from a usb stick or hd.

if i add the /etc/X11/xorg.conf into the iso filesystem,
will that not be overwritten by some other xorg.conf from any tcz?
