1280 x 600 vga= ? (for 8bit/16bit/24bit)

[^thehatsrule^]

Attaching (or use inline code tags) your config (/etc/X11/xorg.conf), log (/var/log/Xorg.0.log) and ~/.xsession might help

[libretto]

thehatsrule,
this is the  xorg.conf.vesa i found under X11

Code: [Select]

See if you could help me. Thanks.

[Juanito]

You could try editing this part:

Code: [Select]

Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device     "Card0"
Monitor    "Monitor0"
DefaultDepth 24

SubSection "Display"
Viewport   0 0
Depth     16
EndSubSection
SubSection "Display"
Viewport   0 0
Depth     24
EndSubSection
EndSection
..so that it looks something like this:

Code: [Select]

Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device     "Card0"
Monitor    "Monitor0"
DefaultDepth 16
SubSection "Display"
Viewport   0 0
Depth     16
Modes     "1280x800" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
EndSubSection
EndSection
Where you need to substitute the colour depth and resolutions supported by your machine.

BTW - I was sure I saw somebody (Roberts?) had got a libretto display working with Xvesa, but maybe that was before tinycore...

[libretto]

Juanito,
But everytime I reboot it's back to the original old form, how do i make it "stay" inside the /etc/X11 dir ?

[Juanito]

You need to add "etc/X11/xorg.conf" to /opt/.filetool.lst

[libretto]

Juanito,

Code: [Select]

/opt/.filetool.lst doesn't exist. What should i do ?
Another question if I have the Linux drivers for my Libretto L3 (S3 SavageIX)(Ali IDE)(Ali Audio) will that solve any of my problems ?

[Lee]

try

Code: [Select]

ls -A /opt
The leading dot in the filename tells ls to ignore it unless you specify the -A option.

[Juanito]

For messing around with things in tinycore, it can be quite useful to load the glib1, gtk1, beaver, emelfm and gtkfind extensions.

If you click on the "H" button in emelfm, it will show the files starting with "." then you can right-click on the file name, choose "open with" and enter "beaver" to edit the file. Naturally enough, gtkfind will help you find things like .filetool.lst in the first place 

[libretto]

Juanito,
Add{ "etc/X11/xorg.conf" to /opt/.filetool.lst} and change{xorg.conf.vesa} or save as {xorg.conf} when loaded with Xorg-7.4.tcel, screen still stuck with 1024x768 Tools|Xvesa Setup won't start.

Reboot, all changes GONE BACK to original as if i didn't edit and save anything - screen still 1024x768.

FYI, default X11 is   xorg.conf.vesa  not  xorg.conf. If i remove the Xorg-7.4.tcel from boot i can use the Tools|Xvesa Setup it gave me the  1280x600/16/24bit  option but screen still stuck with 1024x768 and etc/X11 directory doesn't exist.

Is there anything else i can do ? Don't remember how many times test with different configurations and reboot the machine.

Thanks

Thank you Lee for letting me know how to use the  ls -a

[alu]

look at your .xsession first line; mine reflects:

/usr/bin/Xvesa -br -screen 1360x768x24 -shadow -2button -mouse /dev/input/mice,$

change the resolution there and ctrl-alt-backspace to reboot x; then save the configuration if you have to do it at shutdown (you have to do it if you use a mydata.gz backup).

also type Xvesa -listmodes in aterm in order to see what are the resolutions which your monitor supports, and adjust.

[libretto]

alu,

Your'e the man! Problem solved. Thanks. Now I have 1280x600x24 on my Libretto.
One more last question; is it possible to "load mydata.gz backup" from the grub menu.lst ?
This will make it perfect.

Thank Guys.

[libretto]

Figure this out; save the "mydata.gz"  backup into the /tce directory will load the backup during boot.

[alu]

the behavior is not different as if you would have your mydata.gz at the top of your drive because TC scans for a backup at each boot and load it automatically; what you can do, too, is to rename mydata.gz into mydata.tce, and place mydata.tce into another directory (not /tce); this way, you would then start without restoring your configuration at boot (f.ex. if you don't need your config. because you only want to perform some tasks in text mode as fetching data on remote servers or browse the net with a text browser, or listening to music with mplayer-nogui etc.), but you can restore it when you want/need it by mounting the mydata.tce as if it would be an extension among others (on the commande line: $ tce-load /your_directory/mydata.tce).

[libretto]

alu,

Thanks again. I got another question. How do I "unmount" tce extention on command line to free up some ram ?

[Lee]

How do I "unmount" tce extention on command line...

For the most part - you don't.

The preferred method is to remove the extension's .tce file (or move it from your tce directory to tce/optional/) and then reboot (backing up your data first of course, if using a volatile home).

For further reading search the forum for "tce uninstall".  This was a lively topic not too long ago.
