is there 64bit TC/ video prob?

(1/1)

puppybyte!:
I have a 64bit PC with 8G of RAM, although I am running coreplus 14 and it seems to work well.  I have 2 main questions.
1.  Is there a TC iso specifically for 64bit with graphic interface (my preference is JWM)?
2.  video display does not quite optimal (my HDTV 1360x768 native resolution connected via display port).  After installing 915resolution.tcz and adding 915resolution 50 1360 768 24 to the bootsync.sh and rebooting I am still getting following with inzi -Fz command

furthermore xrandr -q command results in

  no mention of display port connection...

why is it reporting 1024x768?

aus9:
You are mixing up 2 arches in the one question....and I might get easily confused by that.

To the best of my knowledge there has never been a coreplus for 64 bit that offers both wireless support and multiple desktops including JWM

I would suggest you download TinyCorePure64....test it.....and then add TCEs including jwm.tcz or maybe the meta TCE  Xorg-jwm-desktop.tcz

on x86 or 32 bit you appear to be running vesa driver. Before you try out 64 bit, you may like to see if you can set up  Xorg?

Note Juanito is being very polite....when the info reads

--- Quote ---Note: the graphics-KERNEL extension may be required for intel hardware or the
                modesetting driver included with xorg-server
--- End quote ---

I would suggest to you that just ensure graphics-KERNEL is named above Xorg* in your boot list

3) Have you considered loading firmware-i915? Firmware should IMHO be above graphics-KERNEL in your boot list
Are you seeing any hits in

--- Code: ---dmesg | grep firmware
--- End code ---

I can not help with 915* stuff as I am on AMD, also TC64 does not appear to have 915resolution.tcz

curaga:
Your Xvesa listing shows the mode was appended as it should. Now you need to select it, use the control panel or edit .xsession manually.

Juanito:
Also, note that Xvesa is 32bit only, so you'll need to use Xfbdev or Xorg in CorePure64.
