thinkpad 600 yellow green screen problem
« on: January 25, 2016, 01:02:14 AM »
I am new to tinycore linux and I have a thinkpad 600 with the infamous green-yellow screen problem when I reboot.

 I don't have wifi installed because I cannot get to the utilities.

I used the other computer method to copy Xfbdev.tcz to a usb stick.

I copied the Xfbdev.tcz file to /mnt/sda1/tce, used the tce-load -i /mnt/sda1/tce/Xfbdev.tcz command and got the blue screen. I think the problem is somehow not saving the configuration in the backup. The back up procedure is very confusing for the beginner.

Now when I try to reboot:
I used the tce-load -i /mnt/sda1/tce/Xfbdev.tcz and it says that it is already loaded.
When I try xsetup.sh command it says not found. Please help.

You need to load Xfbdev, Xprogs, flwm, wbar and aterm (and the extensions they depend on) to have a basic minimum desktop - you might also be better to use Xvesa instead of Xfbdev if you can.
