Tiny Core 16.0 Alpha 1 Testing
Juanito:
The fltk-1.4 checksum is OK on the server for the tc-16.x x86_64 repo - maybe you could delete fltk-1.4.tcz* from your tce folder and try again?

Thanks, I deleted all the fltk-1.4 files in my tce16/ and re-fetched them and things are good. That was weird... I thought I had fresh everything back when I posted that.
I can boot into the FLWM desktop now! I can rescale some of the applications like ControlPanel and MountTool and Fluff. But I can only scale them down, not up! :'( That is the opposite of what I wanted (what I really need to be able to see comfortably).
Rendering speed in Firefox is quite slow on this Thinkpad T440p, which has a Core i7 4700MQ at 2.4 GHz processor, so it even if about ten years old, is not a slouch. I can try the thinkpad-acpi firmware extension and see if that hurts/helps. The top utility oes show high CPU (80 to 99%) use when Firefox is doing significant screen repainting.

GNUser reported that too:
https://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php/topic,27522.msg177455.html#msg177455
I looked into it a little and to me it appeared like /usr/local should work, but
GNUser said it doesn't.

Actually, rendering speed was bad for everything, not just Firefox. I now load thinkpad-acpi-6.12.11-tinycore64 on boot and the speed is good now even at full native resolution (1920 by 1080 pixels). I can drag the FF window around the screen with my mouse and it repaints smoothly with basically zero tearing. ;D

Depending on your graphics card, you could try Xorg-7.7-3d to use hardware acceleration if you have a compatible gpu.
