Hi. I am trying to set up Xorg for MicroCore, but Xorg 7.7 from repository doesnt work, so i decided to start with small - start xorg-server (black screen and cursor).
After some forums and sites serfing i installed drivers for my video, but when i try to type "Xorg" in console, i have this:
"xkbcomp:not found
Keyboard initialization failed
Failed to activate virtual core keyboard: 2(EE)".
I already downloaded xkeyboard-config from repository, so now i need a xkbcomp. I donwloaded it and now have a binary. How i can install it?
-
Did you use the apps gui or "tce-load -wil" to ensure that you downloaded Xorg-7.7 and all of its recursive deps?
The xorg-server extension will not work without Xorg-7.7.
If you use the apps gui "privides" option, you will see that xkbcomp is provided by Xorg-7.7-bin, which is a recursive dep of Xorg-7.7.

Ok, but when i starting Xorg7.7 i expecting to see black screen and a cursor, but i see only a black screen. On the Virtual box i had a cursor, but on a laptop - not.
I tried to config the Xorg by typing "sudo Xorg -configure" and that is what i get:
"modprobe:module fbcon not found in modules.dep
intel: waited 2020ms for i915.ko driver to load
Number of created screens does not match number of detected devices."
And this interesting things has in Xorg.0.log file:
"Hotplugging is on, devices using drivers 'kbd', 'mouse' or 'vmouse' will be disabled.
Disabling Mouse0
Disabling Keyboard0"
And the top mentioned error about created screens. So, please, type, what can i do now?

What graphics hardware do you have?
Since most hardware will work with Xorg-7.7 without the need for configuration, I suspect your download failed in some way and you do not have all of the extensions you need.
-
I have "00:02.1 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03)".
Should i reinstall MicroCore?
-
There's no need to reinstall Core - if you get to a console prompt Core is working properly.
Do you get a gui with Xvesa?
-
I want it because maybe i messed up with config files.
Yes, i can load a CorePlus with my flash-drive (which i think is using Xvesa).
Do you know, can Xvesa runs all Xorg applications (that are written to be used in GNOME or KDE, which as i know, is written for Xorg)?
-
If you messed up your configuration files you can delete them.
No, Xvesa will not run all gtk/gnome programs.
-
This is the problem. I dont know what files i should delete to reset Xorg to defaults.
-
If you didn’t add the files to your backup, you can just reboot.
-
No, i packaged files, so they are safe.
-
So what file do i need to delete to reset Xorg to defaults. Or should i just reinstall MicroCore?
-
The config file(s) for Xorg are not under /home/tc, so unless you added them specifically to your backup (in which case you will know their names) you can reboot and the files will be gone.
-
Ok. As i see, i messed up with them, so i will reinstall the system and we will try to install Xorg again.
-
Ok. I reinstalled is. So what do i need to do to correctly install Xorg?
-
From the console prompt:
$ tce-load Xorg-7.7 flwm wbar aterm
$ startx
-
But if i want later install a Xfce or Lxde?
-
Hi krytgames
Then use the Apps utility to:
1. Select the Download Only option
2. Select Xfce and click Go
3. Click Apps->Maintenance->OnBoot Maintenance
4. Remove flwm from onboot
5. Add Xfce to onboot
6. Close the Apps utility
Click on the Exit icon and select Exit to Prompt. At the prompt, enter startx.

Hi. I am only with CLI interface.
So i downloaded Xorg.
In tce, i see many modules of xfce4. Running tce-load -wi xfce doesn't work, because it not finds the xfce. Which modules do i need to install?
-
xfwm4 perhaps?
-
Ok, thx. I will try all of that and type the result.
-
"tce-load Xorg-7.7 flwm wbar aterm" is this command will allows to run all the gdk applications?
-
So i manage to run flwm on Xorg, but xfwm doesn't start. :(
So if flwm on Xorg can run all applications, like Diskord, Visual studio and other, i will be happy with that.

Hello krytgames
There are many WM’s to choose from. I prefer the lightweight “HackedBox” does exactly what I need

I only use flwm with 32-bit tinycore and everything I use works - you might need Xorg-7.7-3d with some apps though.
-
Ok. Thx. I will try. Now i will try to install audio codec and Discord and will write, if this successfull or not.
-
I open DiscordApp In Firefox which works great
