Hello, I've installed TC Linux on Thin Client (HP T5630W).
When I change my graphics resolution to 1280x768 everything is fine.
But when I change my graphics resolution to 1440x900 and I know my hardware supports as ubuntu worked with the resolution, screen is bigger than monitor.
Is there a way to fix this problem?
-
Hello,
If I use dvi instead of vga cable it works with tiny core linux too.
-
Are you using Xvesa, Xfbdev or Xorg-7.7?
-
Hello Juanito,
I use standard ( Xvesa, isn't is?).
-
You can use Xorg-7.7 together with the xf86-video-* driver for your hardware, which will usually give the native resolution for your graphics hardware/display without configuration.
Of course this will take up more space/use more ram...
-
Hello Juanito,
my hardware is "VIA Chrome9 HC3" and I installed xf86-video-openchrome.tcz.
Is there anything else I have to do?
-
load Xorg-7.7 and restart the gui - you can look at /var/log/Xorg.0.log to check if everything is working OK
-
I installed xf86-video-openchrome.tcz
Then you are using an old version of Tiny Core Linux.
The last release of Tiny Core Linux which did have xf86-video-openchrome.tcz was Tiny Core Linux 6.x.
And Tiny Core Linux 6.x has a very old version of xf86-video-openchrome (0.3.3), see:
http://tinycorelinux.net/6.x/x86/tcz/xf86-video-openchrome.tcz.info
The latest version however is 0.4.188, see:
https://cgit.freedesktop.org/openchrome/xf86-video-openchrome/
You should probaby update to Tiny Core Linux 7.x and ask Juanito to add the latest version of xf86-video-openchrome (0.4.188 at the time of writing this) to the Tiny Core Linux 7.x repo:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=95059

FTFY ;)

Hello,
@pq5190362
After I got video problems first time I tried out older version and forgot change back to version 7.x, sorry. ???
@Juanito
Thank you for yout help! :)
Can you please tell me how to restart gui?
I installed Xorg-7.7. After reboot I see Tiny Core starting but get a blinking cursor then.
-
To restart X, use the exit gui applet and chose "exit to prompt" and then at the prompt type"startx".
Note that the Xorg-7.7 extension from tc-7.x will not work with the xf86-video-openchrome extension from tc-6.x since the xorg-server abi has changed from 1.17.x to 1.18.x
-
Hello Juanito
where can I find "exit gui applet"?
-
If you move the mouse pointer over the icons in the wbar tray at the bottom of the screen, the one of the left will be labelled "exit".
-
Hello,
I installed TC7.1 to hard disk.
Then i installed Xorg-7.7.tcz.
After that I exit to prompt (thank you, now I know where it is :) ).
Finally I type "startx" but I get a blinking cursor then.
After reboot the blinking cursor comes up again.
-
I updated xf86-video-openchrome for tc-7.x
You need to update it using the apps gui, reboot and load both Xorg-7.7 and xf86-video-open-chrome
-
Hello,
I set up a new system 7.1 and installed Xorg-7.7 and xf86-video-open-chrome.
But on startx I get a black screen.
-
Use ctrl-alt-backspace or alt-f1 to exit X and look at /var/log/Xorg.0.log for error messages
-
Hello,
I got 6 errors.
Is there a way to prevent errors?
[ 24.060] (EE) Failed to load module "fbdev" (module does not exist, 0)
...

( I put Xorg.0.log in attatchment)
-
It looks like you might be missing some dependency extensions.
I believe you originally started with tc-6.x - when you updated to tc-7.x, did you update Xorg-7.7 and all of it's deps using the apps gui?
The reason I ask is that many of the libX* extensions, libdrm, etc were updated from tc-6.x -> tc-7.x
Edit: Note that perhaps your driver requires Xorg-7.7-3d?
-
The log says there's nothing connected on VGA, but no mention of DVI. Perhaps the driver does not support DVI, or needs a config option.
-
I updated xf86-video-openchrome for tc-7.x
You have updated to an old version. According to the info file, you have updated to version 0.4.0:
http://tinycorelinux.net/7.x/x86/tcz/xf86-video-openchrome.tcz.info
0.4.0 is old. The latest version (at the time of writing this) is 0.4.901, see:
https://cgit.freedesktop.org/openchrome/xf86-video-openchrome/log/?showmsg=1

In post #7 (http://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php/topic,20065.msg124821.html#msg124821), I've already pointed you to a bug report which is about DVI issues on HP thin clients when using xf86-video-openchrome, see:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=95059
As you can see from the latest post over there from Kevin Brace, who is the xf86-video-openchrome maintainer, the DVI issues were fixed for some HP thin clients with xf86-video-openchrome 0.4.181 and later.
So, I don't know why Juanito posted the old version 0.4.0 to the Tiny Core Linux 7.x repo.
Maybe if Juanito would update to the latest version 0.4.901, the DVI issues would be solved.
As you can see from the git log and the comments on the bug report mentioned above, Kevin Brace is currently busy at improving xf86-video-openchrome, with almost daily commits, so it would probably be best if Juanito would update to the latest version.

..or you could submit an update 😉
-
I updated to the latest version in the Xorg repo
You mean this one:
https://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/
?
I do not even see xf86-video-openchrome being listed there...
Anyway, yes, 0.4.0 is the latest "release" version.
But there have been a lot of fixes since then and the latest version as of writing this is 0.4.901:
https://cgit.freedesktop.org/openchrome/xf86-video-openchrome/log/?showmsg=1
And, I mean, for xf86-video-intel, you had also updated to a fresh git snapshot, see:
http://tinycorelinux.net/7.x/x86/tcz/xf86-video-intel.tcz.info
So, I don't see why you couldn't do this for xf86-video-openchrome as well...
or you could submit an update
No, at this point in time, I do not know how to do this and I do not even have a VIA GPU.

As per:
Version bumped to 0.4.901
This version is Version 0.5 RC2 (Release Candidate 2). If there
are no major regressions from Version 0.3.3 or 0.4.0, this version
will be released as Version 0.5 shortly.
..maybe it's better to wait a day or two for 0.5?

Hello,
interesting discussion and important news for me.
The log says there's nothing connected on VGA, but no mention of DVI
Yes, I had DVI connected on my last test, that was it, it works now. :) :) :) THANK YOU!!!
In this case I got another question.
I use "opt/bootlocal.sh" for loading keymap:
loadkmap < /usr/share/kmap/qwertz/de-latin1-nodeadkeys.kmapBut if I install Xorg-7.7 and xf86-video-open-chrome it seems that opt/bootlocal.sh will be disabled.
Is there a way to enable it again?
-
You need to create a .conf file for your keyboard layout.
F.e. /usr/local/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/keyboard.conf:
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "Keyboard Defaults"
MatchIsKeyboard "on"
Option "xkb_model" "pc105"
Option "XkbLayout" "de"
Option "XkbOptions" "terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp"
EndSection
-
I use this to enable swidish keyboard.
sudo su
mkdir -p /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/
echo -e "Section \"InputClass\"" > /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/se_keyboard.conf
echo -e "\tIdentifier \"keyboard defaults\"" >> /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/se_keyboard.conf
echo -e "\tMatchIsKeyboard \"on\"" >> /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/se_keyboard.conf
echo -e "\tOption \"XkbModel\" \"pc105\"" >> /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/se_keyboard.conf
echo -e "\tOption \"XkbLayout\" \"se\"" >> /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/se_keyboard.conf
echo -e "\tOption \"XkbVariant\" \"nodeadkeys\"" >> /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/se_keyboard.conf
echo -e "\tOption \"XkbOptions\" \"terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp\"" >> /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/se_keyboard.conf
echo -e "EndSection" >> /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/se_keyboard.conf
echo -e "etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/se_keyboard.conf" >> /opt/.filetool.lst
filetool.sh -b -v
-
Thank you, it works :)
Is there an other way for startup scripts too?
My startup script in /home/tc/.X.d/ won't work after installing Xorg.
-
startup scripts belong in bootlocal.sh or bootsync.sh
scripts in ~/X.d are for things that require X to be started, for example flit or conky
-
Hello,
yes it starts rdesktop.
I installed system again an every thing works well now.
It must have been my mistake.
So my problem is solved and I have to say THANK YOU! :D

Yes, might be a good idea.

But you are using VGA now and DVI still does not work, right?

Thank You! :)

Thank You! :)
Is DVI working for you now with xf86-video-openchrome 0.5?
-
Sorry,
it's not possoible for me to check this at present. :(
Because system is running and I wont stop it.

I know this is an old thread and I'm new to TinyCore, but I am wondering if there are any plans to package the openchrome video driver for version 9.0. I have a bunch of Wyse Xeniths I would like to utilize. If not, any guidance on how to help package it would be appreciated.
Thanks!
