What do you meanyou "downloaded" them?
You should have done "tce-load -iw Xorg-7.7 xf86-video-ati" or installed "onboot" from Apps.
Use Apps to add them "onboot" and remove "Xvesa" from onboot.

OK, well I wasn't exactly sure what I was doing so in "Apps" I had selected the "Download Only" option. Anyway, I used the "OnBoot Maintenance" to add those 2 packages and remove Xvesa, but after rebooting I have just ended up with a "tc@box:~$" prompt. I've tried running "startx" but it's coming back with lots of errors: "cat: can't open '/etc/sysconfig/Xserver': No such file or directory" followed by lots of "usb 2-3:" errors. So what now?
Edit: I don't know if it's important, but TinyCore is installed in a dedicated logical partition on my laptop.

As a first step you can try to get back your old Xvesa X server after typing
--- Code: ---tce-load -i Xvesa.tcz
--- End code ---
and, if succesful,
--- Code: ---startx
--- End code ---
gerald_clark:
"can't open '/etc/sysconfig/Xserver" means you did not load Xorg-7.7
Check your onboot.lst.

OK, I managed to get Xvesa back up and running, so I repeated the process (Manage OnBoot: remove Xvesa, add xf86-video-ati.tcz and Xorg-7.7-lib.tcz), checked onboot.lst (looked correct), rebooted and exactly the same problem. Then I realised that it's not this laptop with the ATI video card (I'm playing around with 2 laptops at the moment and got confused) - it uses an Intel Mobile GMA 4500 so I shall see if I can find the right xf86 driver package for it!
