Also I manualy loaded the missing depencency (I saw errors in /var/log/Xorg.0.log) like libffi.tcz and llvm-lib.tcz
...
EDIT2: it works, but maybe I need the firmware

Thanks for reporting.
I copied over firmware-radeon from the tc-4.x repo (as a temporary measure until coreplayer2's updated extension is posted) and added this and graphics-KERNEL to the xf86-video-ati deps.
I also added llvm-lib to Xorg-7.7-3d deps - a little reluctantly as it is somewhat large, but then again, so is Xorg-7.7-3d...

Juanito, let me explain my test results again please:
I deleted from Xorg-7.7.tcz.dep the rows xf86-video-fbdev and xf86-video-vesa and added xf86-video-ati (just for testing)
then I have rebooted with bootcodes BASE and NORESTORE, and manualy tce-loaded Xorg-7.7.tcz
startx gave me an error like "failed in waiting for X"
I then tce-loaded graphics-3.8 and after stratx I had a high resolution + black background + nice cursor + right click menu
So graphics-3.8 is need even for 2D no acceleration, in my ATI X1400 case.
I loaded then wbar and one shade appeared at the bottom screen, after loading aterm.tcz here goes the terminal icon,
then I loaded Xprog.tcz and full tinycore apparence is now shown.
My synaptics touchpad is not automaticaly full working (no vertical/horizontal scroll no two thingers scroll etc) , I think I will give him a proper config rule in /etc/X11/xconf.d/
My conclusion: As long as an appropriate Xorg driver is loaded (radeon), then is no need for libffi.tcz and llvm-lib.tcz, theese libs are just for backup software render
The firmware is not needed to have 2D screen. Only for 3D acceleration we need it. I hope all is clear now.
PS: If you look over at Xlibs.tcz.dep you will see that is included in full into Xorg-7.7-bin.tcz.dep
EDIT: I used flwm.tcz, not flwm_topside.tcz, and the aterm is NOT mouse autofocus. I opend two aterms, type something in aterm1, move mouse cursor on aterm2, kept typing, but the characters apeared still in aterm1, not in aterm2 windows as expected.

Agreed, I added graphics-KERNEL to xf86-video-ati.tcz.dep earlier today

I guess the question is whether to make Xprogs a dep of Xorg-7.7 or not?

Did you load xf86-input-synaptics?

Agreed, I added llvm-lib (libffi is a dep of llvm-lib) as a dep of Xorg-7.7-3d earlier today

I don't have any ati/radeon hardware - is that the case for all cards?

flwm is light and simple - I guess you have to click in the second aterm window ;)

This has come up before, it's a compile time option.

OK, thanks for info, I understand, it is the same for both flwm.tcz and flwm_topside.tcz. I just said that my preference was for autofocus.
