Hello
Im setting up what is recognized as a 486, with via openchrome video and via sound. This particular machine combination has landed me at TC7.2 as what seems to work best (needs openchrome, has to use oss as alsa fails codec, new kernels dont support the cpu, runs on 128mb drive).
In setting up xorg, xf86-video-openchrome and graphics tcz's I have encountered an oddity. It seems when running from usb, if I "downlad and load" openchrome, then exit to command as per instructions- then use tce / keywords to install xorg and graphics; startx works fantastic. If I then add openchrome, xorg and graphics to onboot (and then reboot) I get what appears to be an out of range screen (black screen Im assuming is out of range). Anyone know why this would occur / have a solution for this? Is there a magic order or sequence of onboot ondemand I should use (to make one or more of these load later in the boot process maybe)?
I realize the quick solution is to toss the old machine, but I intend to use it as a juke box device which it is suited for...plus it still works...

You could try an order something like the following in onboot.lst:
graphics-KERNEL
xf86-video-openchrome
Xorg-7.7-3d
flwm
aterm
wbar
