I tried today Tiny Core and I think to have the problem with screen resolution. I red similar problems on forum but I don't understand very well what's the solution
I can work only with 800x600x24 screen resolution (usually, with other SO I work @ 1024x768x24).
what do I do exactly to solve the problem ???
Pleas explain me step by step.....I want popularixe TinyCore in all Italy
Huge thanks in advance

I red that help, maybe I had a mistake. I did:
I have installed Xorg-7.4.tce;
I switched from graphic mode to text mode;
I typed Xorg -configure;
I added it to /etc/X11 named xorg.conf
I added it to /opt/.filetool.lst
I edited .xsession by replacing the X line with /usr/local/bin/Xorg -nolisten tcp &
At this point I switched from text mode to graphic mod typing startx, but it shows me Xvesa listmodes and it works only if I chose 800x600x24, where is my mistake?
Thanks

I use:

To run it, use `startx`
-
To run it, use `startx`
'startx' appear TC Xvesa Resolution Setup table (see Attached)
Any idea?
-
Make sure you aren't booting with the "xsetup" cheatcode, and that you have ~/.xsession
-
Also don't run "startx" as root
