One other check you could do, after verifying that the Xorg-7.6 extension is loaded, is:
--- Code: ---$ cat /etc/sysconfig/Xserver
--- End code ---
..and check that the answer is "Xorg" and not "Xvesa"

Yes, now /etc/sysconfig/Xserver says Xorg with all the packages below loaded.

This is now on onboot.lst:
expat2.tcz
fontconfig.tcz
ipv6-3.0.21-tinycore64.tcz
pixman.tcz
openssl-1.0.0.tcz
Xorg-7.6-bin.tcz
Xorg-7.6-lib.tcz
Xorg-7.6-3d.tcz
Xorg-7.6.tcz
Xorg-fonts.tcz
Xlibs.tcz
Xprogs.tcz
fltk-1.10.tcz
flwm.tcz
wbar.tcz
jwm.tcz

when I ran Xorg -configure, I get a segfault and have attached the log here.

Maybe the laptop has both an onboard GPU + also a Radeon card that causing this ? I have considered GC's suggestion of using the normal 32bit version, which I have no issues with since I first found out about TCL since v3.x (but always booted from grub2 straight from iso file). I think I did try to boot the 32bit version on the 64 bit laptop, but corepure only boots to $ command prompt.

I don't have any 32bit machines left which I prefer to use. Since I have a 64 machine, I was really looking forward to get TC64 to run on it, until I found out there was no iso.....and here I am.

Anyway, seems after much googling that the graphics is the one that is posing the most sticking point for many TC users also. I will try to forge on a little more to see if I can move forward any further. Thank you to you all for your directions and guidance thus far.

Xorg.0.log shows that xorg only tries to load the fbdev and vesa video drivers - it does not try to load the drivers for your hardware.

It would be useful to run "lspci" and post the details of exactly what video hardware you have in order to be able to use an appropriate xorg.conf entry.

Looks like the 64bit tcz package for lspci does not work as it required libpci.so.3. I also loaded libpci-dev.tcz but still does not work. There were no libpci share libs in the packages. I booted using another distro and did lspci. Hope this is ok (lspci -v) attached.

You need to use the apps browser gui or "tce-load -iw" to load extensions - doing it this way will automatically load dependent extensions.

Looking at:

http://www.tinycorelinux.net/4.x/x86_64/tcz/pci-utils.tcz.dep


--- Code: ---libpci.tcz
--- End code ---
.. you can see that it would automatically download libpci, which contains libpci.so.3
