Tiny Core v8.0
gwalther:
Just tried to install Xorg-7.7-3d.tcz and could not get Xorg to load required modules. Turns out ....when I compared to an earlier version where Xorg-3d was working correctly, graphics-KERNEL-tinycore.tcz was not being loaded. When I manually added graphics-4.8.17.tcz to onboot.lst, everything worked fine. I think in earlier versions, the graphics-KERNEL-tinycore.tcz extension was listed in the Xorg-3d dep file and got downloaded and installed automatically. Now it seems you have to know it has to be added independantly. Was this an intentional change?
Juanito:
Yes, it was an intentional change - for the last two or three tc versions/kernel versions, loading the graphics-KERNEL extension fills dmesg with a whole bunch of error messages on my hardware..
...so I only load it when really needed.
curaga:
Would it be better to keep the dep, but blacklist the module on your system?
gwalther:
The extension xf86-video-intel.tcz includes graphics-KERNEL-tinycore.tcz as a dependency. I use xf86-video-ati.tcz, but graphics-KERNEL-tinycore.tcz is not listed as a dependency, nor is it as far as I can see, listed as a dependence of the other xf86-video-*.tcz's.
(In some earlier versions I believe graphics-KERNEL-tinycore.tcz was listed as a dependency for xf86-video-ati.tcz.)
In any case, I think a note in either Xorg-7.7.tcz, Xorg-7-7-3d.tcz, or in the individual xf86-video-*.tcz's , INFO file regarding the possible need to load graphics-KERNEL-tinycore.tcz, would be most helpful.

note added to Xorg-7.7-3d info file
