[Project] Rdesktop Kiosk for PXE ThinClients: Xvesa and Xorg

(1/3) > >>

Hi,

A while ago, i created a rdesktop kiosk for using with thinclients via PXE.  8)

It is working like a charm! But i had a new problem:  Dual monitor.


The image i have is with Xvesa and i can't manage the monitors (xrandr). I need to create a new image with Xorg.

Any easy method to replace Xvesa with Xorg in core.gz?  ;D



If anyone is interested in participating in the project, i'm available.

Posso tratar em português, se algum brasileiro tiver interesse.

Hi brunok
I think the first thing you should do is boot one of your clients from a USB thumb drive. That will make it easier to
figure out what you need to get Xorg running. Based on you previous topics, I take it you are still using TC8. One
thing you should read is the  .info  file:
http://tinycorelinux.net/8.x/x86/tcz/Xorg-7.7.tcz.info
The TC4 version of the  .info  file provides a little more information:
http://tinycorelinux.net/4.x/x86/tcz/Xorg-7.6.tcz.info
You'll also want one of these video extensions:

--- Code: ---xf86-video-amdgpu.tcz
xf86-video-ati.tcz
xf86-video-intel.tcz
xf86-video-nouveau.tcz
xf86-video-nv.tcz
xf86-video-vesa.tcz
xf86-video-vmware.tcz
--- End code ---

The attached file lists all of the dependencies (both direct an indirect) for Xorg that will need to be added to core.gz.

Remove:

--- Code: ---/usr/local/bin/Xvesa
--- End code ---
Undo the changes you made due to this:

--- Code: ---usr/local/tce.installed/Xvesa
--- End code ---
Add the extensions listed in the attached file.
Check those extensions for  usr/local/tce.installed/  scripts.
Add the video extension you selected.
Add any  Xorg config  files you may have created.

Hi,

Thanks for reply!


I made new image with Xorg. In test now.


Please, fix your coment line for "remove Xvesa".

Right path: /usr/local/bin/Xvesa



Plus info:  Need adjust /home/tc/.xsession

Changed command Xvesa line with Xorg.

Done. I should have realized that was wrong when I copied it from the  Xvesa.tcz.list  file.

My thinclient is running new image (with Xorg), but, can't use dual monitor.

Something wrong.


Can't manage with xrandr VGA-1 / DVI-1.


Some experience with dual monitor? Any idea about this?
