Tiny Core Base > piCore Final Releases
piCore 15.0 Release
Synerworks:
The GUI fails to launch when following "tce-load -wi TC" on PI0-3s, specifically VC4s, and works on PI4-5s. Looking at the DMESG logs, the PI4-5s use simple framebuffer, whereas the earlier VC4s are not. The Xorg log shows it dies out when attempting to load the frame buffer. Anyhow, the short term interim resolution was to WGET the "xorg-server.tcz.*" files from the 14.x repository and replace the components on the 15.x media in the optional folder or copy over the files from your previous piCore14.x image. Need to see what has changed between these releases to identify why it fails.

VC4 (With Xorg-3d) works on a 2B+, other than needing to added a delay, or wait for the VC4 driver to initialize at the beginning of .xsession.
Synerworks:
Already dealing with the kernel 6.6.x difference to deal with the annoying 'waitforX' timeouts, this is moreso with piCore64 though with the v8 kernels, but the reported issue is strictly with Xorg on VC4 boards, namely PI0-3, not using the v8 kernels. The problem remains with piCore15 no matter how long one waits for the driver initialization to complete. Dropping down to piCore14 'xorg-server.tcz' on piCore15 remedies to problem for now, until the actual variance is found. Just loading TC to any base piCore15 image easily generates the issue on PI0-3s, due to their VC4 graphics, not for PI4-5 since they are VC6-7, and using the simple framebuffer 'fbdev' as reported in Xorg.log.
Juanito:
This works:
--- Code: ---tce-load -i Xorg flwm aterm wbar
sudo rm /usr/local/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-noglamor.conf
startx
--- End code ---
The noglamor file needs to be loaded by the Xorg-3d extension rather than xorg-server - I'll fix things tomorrow.
Synerworks:
Added the configuration file removal command to 'bootlocal.sh' for now due to the failure to launch the GUI on each boot until the 'xorg-server.tcz.*' repo is updated. Thanks for the heads-up, missed the configuration file changes between the two packages after noticing the library versions had changed.
