xenial: xorg problems

May I ask why dCore-xenial is using Kernel 4.2.9?

Would have expected it to use Kernel 4.4, just like Ubuntu 16.04.

Why not Kernel 4.4?

nitram:
As per the wiki, and yes this entry is already out of date, hard to keep up:

--- Quote --- The kernel used by a dCore port is based on the most recent Tiny Core Linux kernel available when the port is prepared for release. It is rebuilt specifically for the dCore port with any custom configuration that may be required, such as systemd-related issues. Kernel modules are also prepared. The kernel config, patched source and READMEs can be found at http://tinycorelinux.net/dCore/x86/import/src/.

Older currently supported dCore ports, such as dCore-jessie and dCore-wily, use the 3.16.6 kernel. The most recent dCore release candidate, dCore-xenial, uses the 4.2.9 kernel, the kernel used in Tiny Core Linux v7.

Hm, and would it be possible to upgrade to the Ubuntu Xenial Kernel 4.4 via:


--- Code: ---sce-import linux-image
--- End code ---

?

Jason W:
No, sce-import can't be used for kernel packages or any kernel related things.  All kernel related building, modules or main image, must be done on the standard Core and it's kernel version that was current when the dCore port was released, along with dCore's change in the kernel config which is "DEVTMPFS=Y".  This is as nitram pointed out, but I hope this extra detail helps explain it esp. for those who wish to build kernel modules or images for dCore.

jls:
hi
why it's not possible to compille the kernel under dCore?
