You are right, .info But this topic deserves a good WIKI article too. I was thinking on this typing the answer.

There are and will be always issues with automatic configuration. But my advice to give it a chance and if doesn't work, use VESA. For sure more than 50% will work just as it is without fine tuning. In this case using autoconfig in TC when Xorg is install would be a benefit for all.

I don't see graphics-2.6.29.1-tinycore.tczm listed as a dependency for Xorg-7.4.tcel, yet from the other thread it is sometimes required?
While these two extensions don't really qualify as .core. as they never existed in Tiny Core, I can easily make an automatic confless Xorg with the added dependency for v2.3rc1.
Still it wil be the same concept, drop in Xorg-7.4.tcel and with appropriate dependencies into your tce directory and the system witll boot into Xorg confless.
Still I have a concern about the dontzap of Xorg, if Xorg confless fails then the state of the machine is not easily recoverable.

Hi,
following works on a stock TC 2.2:
- install Xorg-7.4 & graphics-2.6.29.1-tinycore (of course with their dependencies in .dep)
- make a backup of .xsession in your home (e.g. 'cp .xsession .xsession.vesa')
- modify .xsession in ~ dir as described in .info of Xorg
- reboot with backup
TC will start with Xorg with autoconfig instead of VESA
Please note:
- /opt/.filetool.lst is not edited
- no any change done in /etc/X11
Drivers in graphics-2.6.29.1-tinycore are required, without them Xorg will not start, so do not miss it.
If Xorg doesn't start or it is unusable:
- reboot with 'tinycore text' option
- rename .xsession.vesa to .xsession in ~
- enter 'startx' command or reboot with backup
If you want to change some settings, place xorg.conf in /etc/X11 No need to have a full config file, enough to have only parts you want to override.

As from the .info:
--- Quote ---.
This extension depends on graphics-2.6.29.1.tcem for
any kind of 3D or video accel.
.
Please note, for AGP or integrated AGP cards such as Intel
chips you will always need graphics-2.6.29.1.tcem.

So, it is sometimes needed. I'd guess autoconfigure wouldn't check for those files.
