Title: Xfbdev-jwm-desktop bug
Post by: neonix on January 09, 2025, 03:17:39 AM

When I install Xfbdev-jwm-desktop on fresh installation
it installs jwm.tcz in first place.
jwm.tcz should be installed before Xsever. Otherwise

Code: [Select]

echo "jwm" > /etc/sysconfig/desktopcan't be done because /etc/sysconfig/desktop doesn't exist, if Xserver was not installed.

The solution is to put Xfbdev.tcz on top of this list. Could you change it?

Hi neonix
.dep files fixed in TC14 and TC15 for x86 and x86_64.

I tested this in fresh installation and the problem still exist, because xorg-server.tcz is installed as the last extension, not the first.



BTW. There should be 2 main extensions. Xorg.tcz (2D), Xorg-3D and others should have small letter xorg-server, xorg-bin.

There should be also note in info file:

Code: [Select]

sudo Xorg -configure
mv /root/xorg.conf /usr/local/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/xorg.conf

The problem was because lack of xorg.conf

There should be a script "xorgsetup' that generate xorg.conf in
/usr/local/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/

or vesaconf

Code: [Select]

Section "Device"
    Identifier  "VESA Framebuffer"
    Driver      "vesa"
    Option      "ShadowFB" "true"
    #VideoRam    4096
    # Insert Clocks lines here if appropriate
EndSectionand fbdevconf

Code: [Select]

Section "Device"
    Identifier "FBDEV"
    Driver "fbdev"
    Option "fbdev" "/dev/fb0"
    Option "ShadowFB" "true"
EndSection

It's your extension, please submit the changes you require  :)

My extension works correct. The problem is with xorg-server.tcz.

It should work without any configuration (in fresh installation) like in old times, but it's not work anymore. Newbies need to type:

Code: [Select]

sudo Xorg -configure
mv /root/xorg.conf /usr/local/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/xorg.conf
If the GPU is recognized it wrond way, black screen appears, newbies can't use Ctr-Alt-Backspace. And only solution is to reboot machine.

We have xsetup for Xvesa and Xfbev, why can we has similar for Xorg?

When I install Xfbdev-jwm-desktop.tcz in TC17 x86-64
it requires wayland.tcz and dav1d.tcz. Are those extensions are really needed?

Xprogs provides the tinycore gui applets, which depend on fltk-1.4, which depends on wayland

jwm depends on librsvg, which depends on dav1d

You could try the 32bit tinycore, which does not use wayland and uses an older version of librsvg that does not depend on dav1d?

I understand that dav1d provides avif graphic format for librsvg, but If we run fltk-1.4 without wayland, will it work?
