TCore and numlockx

[madmax]

Hello:

Back again, after a few years away from [TCore], to see what was going on.

One of my last posts was related to the subject.
https://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php/topic,23258.0.html

TL;DR
The [numlockx] package would not work with the [Xvesa] package.
The possible solution(s) being (if I recall correctly) installing [Xvesa-7.1] from [TC4] or [Xorg].

Has the status quo changed?
[numlock] is essential to my workflow, as essential as having the correct kb layout.

But I doubt [Xvesa-7.1] is still an option as the [TC4] archive does not seem to be available.
Is there no other way around this but to install [Xorg]?

Best,

MM

Xvesa-7.1 sounds like it was built directly from the xorg-server source code - tinycore’s version is heavily modified.

I don’t know if the xorg-server source code still allows for building the tinyx servers, but that might be the first place to start.

Edit: see https://github.com/tinycorelinux/tinyx/blob/master/README

Hi madmax
If you are looking for an older Xvesa, you can try Xvesa-old.tcz which
can be found in the TC6-TC10 repos.

Or you can try Xvesa.tcz prior to the 2018/04/04 update which can be
found in the TC6-TC8 repos.

Only one Xvesa* can can be listed in onboot.lst at a time.
Xvesa.tcz has a bunch of dependencies, Xvesa-old.tcz has none.

Thanks, but all that is way over my head.

... older Xvesa, you can try Xvesa-old.tcz which can be found in the TC6-TC10 repos.

Right.

... one Xvesa* can can be listed in onboot.lst at a time.
Xvesa.tcz has a bunch of dependencies, Xvesa-old.tcz has none.

Time providing, I'll try this weekend and see what gives.

Thanks to both for your input.
Best,

MM
