Hi andyj
Is drm.ko.gz loaded? If it is, it has some debugging options:

--- Code: ---parm:           edid_fixup:Minimum number of valid EDID header bytes (0-8, default 6)
parm:           debug:Enable debug output, where each bit enables a debug category.
                Bit 0 (0x01)  will enable CORE messages (drm core code)
                Bit 1 (0x02)  will enable DRIVER messages (drm controller code)
                Bit 2 (0x04)  will enable KMS messages (modesetting code)
                Bit 3 (0x08)  will enable PRIME messages (prime code)
                Bit 4 (0x10)  will enable ATOMIC messages (atomic code)
                Bit 5 (0x20)  will enable VBL messages (vblank code)
                Bit 7 (0x80)  will enable LEASE messages (leasing code)
                Bit 8 (0x100) will enable DP messages (displayport code)
parm:           timestamp_precision_usec:Max. error on timestamps [usecs]
parm:           vblankoffdelay:Delay until vblank irq auto-disable [msecs] (0: never disable, <0: disable immediately)

Juanito:
I uploaded a new xf86-video-vmware built from the latest git clone against the libxatracker uploaded earlier: http://tinycorelinux.net/16.x/x86_64/tcz/src/xorg/xf86-video-vmware

Maybe that will work better?

andyj:
Much better. But...

Initially when I click on an app in wbar it opens at the upper left of the display. After I cycle through the monitors everything looks ok, but apps from wbar will now open in the middle of the display.  ???  It stays like this after I cycle monitors again, it doesn't move after the first time. I didn't notice anything else right away, I'll have to pressure test it later.

The xf86-video-vmware.tcz.dep file is missing Xorg-7.7-3d.tcz.

I tried the debug thing, I didn't get what I wanted:

--- Code: ---tc@box:~$ cat /etc/modprobe.conf
# /etc/modprobe.conf: Modprobe config file.
#
options drm debug=0x1b7
tc@box:~$ sudo cat /sys/module/drm/parameters/debug
0

--- End code ---
What am I doing wrong here?

One thing that would be nice is if there was a way to run ~/.setbackground whenever the display resolution changes. Is it possible to set up a trigger for this?

Since you are booting into an Xorg environment try  arandr
Unfortunately it only gets processed once.....as you boot into Xorg
You would need to create multiples and then try in a terminal run each one-----with the danger
going from large resolution to smaller....to make fonts look bigger etc.....it can be clunky

No idea.....but I have an alternative.
In my bootloader grub I have "blacklist=snd-hda-intel" and I have a number of sound packages in my bootlist that are not relevant to you
2) I have a ~/.X.d/misc with full contents as below .....perm 644

--- Quote ---numlockx on
/home/tc/.local/bin/sound &
--- End quote ---
Yes there is no shebang
contents of ~.local/bin/sound...perm 755

--- Quote ---#!/bin/sh
sudo modprobe snd-hda-intel options enable=0,1
sleep 3
sudo /usr/local/sbin/alsactl restore -f /home/tc/asound.state
--- End quote ---

so try making a file ~/.local/bin/drmconfig  where you attempt something like
#!/bin/sh
sudo modprobe  drm  options debug=something
I am not a coder but online conversion of hex to dec suggests 439?
438 if that is what you are after appears to be 1B6
