Google says it's a Radeon x1250, so multiple options: the framebuffer or Xorg. Both need to be installed from text mode, and preferably after booting from the USB stick so the results will persist.

You can install CorePlus to your usb stick in text mode as well, tc-install.sh is the command.

Hi spaik
Once the GUI is up hitting  Ctrl-Alt-Backspace  will kill the GUI and put you into text mode. You might have to hit the  Enter  key
to get a command prompt.

Please don't post high resolution photos. Try to limit formats to 800x600 or 1024x768.

Hi spaik
I recommend you start by taking an hour to read this:
http://tinycorelinux.net/corebook.pdf
so you gain some understanding about how Tinycore works.
Spending some time going through the Wiki should also be beneficial:
