I need help for my first Corepure64 installation:
* In the default state (no boot codes; no additional extensions loaded),
I get the message 'failed in waitforX'.
* xsetup.sh exits right after answering the first question (mouse config).
* When I install Xorg-7.7.tcz, then xsetup.sh still exits after the first question,
but startx switches the screen mode --- to a black screen.
Maybe there is an incompatibility with my graphics card? Maybe I need to tell X about my screen resolution?
* VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Xeon E3-1200 v3/
4th Gen Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 06)
* 1680x1050 LCD
I would be very happy about any hints what I can try next --- I have very little experience in configuring X.
Any help is highly appreciated.
Background:
* I copied TinyCorePure64-5.4.iso to a USB key, renamed /cde/ to /tce/
and added a bootloader.

THere is no Vesa for 64 bit so you need Xorg.
It sounds like you may not have installed a window manager.
-
In addition to Xorg, you need to install the xf86-video-intel driver.

gerald_clark and curaga: Thank you very much for your help! I just did what you suggested:
tce-load -wi Xorg-7.7.tcz
tce-load -wi xf86-video-intel.tcz
startx
... and my shiny new TinyCorePure64 box runs like a charm!
Again --- thanks a lot for your help!
-
... by the way --- Is there any way to change the title of this topic?
Now, it would be better to call it:
[Solved]: Xfbdev: X doesn't start; xsetup.sh crashes; Xorg: black screen
Rather than:
Need help: Xfbdev: X doesn't start; xsetup.sh crashes; Xorg: black screen
Best regards --- and thanks a lot!

Fwiw, I am using Xfbdev exclusively on Corepure64. I have had no issues thus far running any applications except conky, which I replaced with gkrellm2. I am using jwm, leafpad, and firefox-34.0.5 with Xfbdev, and can watch YouTube videos with html5.
I get this working on my hardware (Intel HD3000) using the following boot codes with grub2:
menuentry "6.x-64" {
linux /boot/vmlinuz64 quiet noswap nozswap tce=sda10 home=sda10 opt=sda10 restore=sda10/backup lst=6.x64.lst mydata=6.x64 video=vesafb:ywrap,mtrr:3 pause
initrd /boot/corepure64.gz
set gfxpayload=1366x768x32
}
(I have had to modify the dependency lists for cairo and gtk2 to remove the Xorg/xorg-server dependencies, otherwise they reset the Xserver to Xorg)
