PiCore - X-server ONLY
« on: April 29, 2016, 03:49:42 AM »
Hi,
Is there a way to have only xserver installed which starts automatically after boot? no WM no other software.

I need this for having a rdesktop to a windows system.

Thanks in advance!

xserver and other X components are in separate TCZ's in the repo. Install what you need.

You can choose between  Xvesa.tcz ,  Xfbdev.tcz ,  Xorg-7.7.tcz  and  Xorg-7.7-3d.tcz .
Download a copy and keep it handy: Core book ;)

Theres no chois but Xorg7,7 on the ARM architecture

I tried to install Xorg using tce-load - after installation I cant launch it using xinit or startx

I need to know what are the minimum requested packages in order to be able to start a rdesktop client.

I don't need  a functional X(window manager, wbar, other apps..)

Thanks in advance for any help

You wrote you need xserver only. To get functional X read README.

May be I explain something not very clear...

In Debian when doing a minimalistic X-server installation you get a terminal window with no buttons and that's all. Thus you can run rdesktop from this window.
There's no window manager, no decoration etc.

Is there a way to acheive this in PiCore?

Thanks

Install X as written in README. WM is small doesn't hurt to keep. Later when you learned how it works you can drop parts.

I already read this README.

I purchased the book a year ago and consider myself "advanced user". But there's nothing about X in the readme.
And it's specific for ARM architecture... I worked more with Debian for x86

I'll search further on forum or Wikis... to find some info

Thanks,

I've not seen that in any of the README's  at least not in 6.x or 7.x   and yes, I read your README files :)

Just load the extension TC.tcz   I would recommend looking at the info for that extension before you install it.

 :-\
OK so I installed xorg-xserver, Xorg-7.7 and dependencies - tried to launch X to get a screen - still nothing.
There's a message "no screens found"

Any ideas?

Did you install TC.tcz as advised?
