[solved] Xfbdev: X doesn't start; xsetup.sh crashes; Xorg: black screen

I need help for my first Corepure64 installation:

  * In the default state (no boot codes; no additional extensions loaded),
    I get the message 'failed in waitforX'.
  * xsetup.sh exits right after answering the first question (mouse config).
  * When I install Xorg-7.7.tcz, then xsetup.sh still exits after the first question,
    but startx switches the screen mode --- to a black screen.

Maybe there is an incompatibility with my graphics card? Maybe I need to tell X about my screen resolution?

  * VGA compatible controller:  Intel Corporation Xeon E3-1200 v3/
    4th Gen Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 06)
  * 1680x1050 LCD

I would be very happy about any hints what I can try next --- I have very little experience in configuring X. 
Any help is highly appreciated.

Background:
 
* I copied TinyCorePure64-5.4.iso to a USB key,  renamed /cde/ to /tce/
  and added a bootloader.

gerald_clark:
THere is no Vesa for 64 bit so you need Xorg.
It sounds like you may not have installed a window manager.

curaga:
In addition to Xorg, you need to install the xf86-video-intel driver.

gerald_clark and curaga: Thank you very much for your help!  I just did what you suggested:

tce-load -wi Xorg-7.7.tcz
tce-load -wi xf86-video-intel.tcz
startx

... and my shiny new TinyCorePure64 box runs like a charm!

Again --- thanks a lot for your help!

yaakov:
... by the way --- Is there any way to change the title of this topic?
Now, it would be better to call it:

    [Solved]: Xfbdev: X doesn't start; xsetup.sh crashes; Xorg: black screen

Rather than:

    Need help: Xfbdev: X doesn't start; xsetup.sh crashes; Xorg: black screen

Best regards --- and thanks a lot!
