hi forum,

need some help bikooting  TCL on an ASUS x556uv  laptop.

Bios only offers to choose how much RAM to share for Video
So  i  put it at 128 megs

nothing else about bios is helpful

when i try to boot TCL  11.1  at all the variuos VGA settins you just get a distorted graphics screen of zig zags

i tried LOW and High res settings

So it does not like xvesa?

it boots ok to terminal so what should i type to load up xorg?

is it  "sudo AB  xorg" ........it downloads it?.... and then do i install it?

And then what command to run it....?..and then what command to start X..?.

?

thanks
C

Hi vinceASPECT. If you can boot to a terminal and have a network connection, the command you type to get xorg and a minimum GUI is this:

--- Code: ---$ tce-load -wi Xorg-7.7 flwm aterm wbar
--- End code ---
After that you can reboot with sudo reboot and X should automatically start (the command that automatically starts it is the startx at the bottom of ~/.profile).

JHello GNUser and forum

So you are saying  i type at the terminal.......

$ tce-load -wi Xorg-7.7 flwm aterm wbar  (enter)

wait a bit and should eventualy be potentially greated with a tcl  desktop.....?

OR must i also follow the command above by typing "sudo reboot" at which point i will be subsequently be greeted with a tcl desktop?

..........but surely rebooting to bios and back up will flush the RAM and leave the TCL system empty once more?


thx

no disrespect intended but have you tried the most recent version(s) of TinyCoreLinux?

vinceASPECT:
NO gadget

i have had it explained to me HOW to run the latest tinycore through WSL on win 10.........but i am still looking at that

this thread here is me trying to native boot  tcl and i don't have any MEDiia to be able to try native boot of the latest tcl iso ........i only have  a DISC of tcl 11.1

Thx
C

are you surgesting that by default , the Latest tcl  remembers it's state  over reboots?
