Install a X Desktop on Micro Core
« on: October 04, 2011, 08:42:29 PM »
Hi again! Is possible install a X environment on micro core (and may not be the FLTK)? I've installed openbox, but startx doesn't work...

If I understand it correctly, openbox is a window manager but you won't have any windows to manage until you install an X server.

Try loading Xlibs.tcz, Xprogs.tcz and either Xvesa.tcz or one of the Xorg-7.<X>.tcz extensions in addition to openbox.tcz.

Edit (21:37):  You might also want to load wbar.tcz - I don't know if open box has some alternative app launcher or not.  In any case, Micro Core + XLibs + Xprogs + Xvesa + wbar + flwm_topside = Tiny Core so if your goal is to substitute open box for flwm_topside, its that easy.

32 bit core4.7.7, Xprogs, Xorg-7.6, wbar, jwm  |  - Testing -
PPR, data persistence through filetool.sh          |  32 bit core 8.0 alpha 1
USB Flash drive, one partition, ext2, grub4dos  | Otherwise similar
