Tiny Core on Virtual Machines / Re: I would like to enable 1080p resolution

Not a big deal, but you can remove Xorg-7.7, Xorg-7.7-3d will load it.

Remember to put the hd as the first boot device or virtualbox will load the iso again

General TC Talk / Tying to get VIM to work as intended

« Last post by MaxFury on September 29, 2026, 02:40:16 PM »

I find that the font of the default terminal (aterm) to be so good! But when I use VIM, I think because the terminal only support a small number
of colours, the colorscheme such as onedark looks off and awful. Is it possible to fix that? Also, I tried to use LXterminal, it seems that's the other option for
terminal, the default font is not nearly as good. Is it possible to either make the default terminal support more colours, or use the
same font for aterm or xterm in LXterminal?

Ok I am gonna start over.
So after I TC install GUI, remove all those onboot things, then install these and have only them in onboot?

Xorg-7.7
graphics-KERNEL
vbox-KERNEL
Xorg-7.7-3d
flwm, aterm and wbar

Did you use tc-install-GUI to install tinycore to the vm hard drive?

Yes I did. I used the whole drive, not frugal install

Sure, but when you then use tc-install the resulting installation has nothing set onboot.

Hi Juanito
When installing from an ISO, everything gets thrown into
onboot because there are no  .dep  files included.

There’s no need to have so many extensions onboot, it would be easier to troubleshoot if you have just the 5 extensions I mentioned earlier

And if you are on Virtualbox, you also can change the Max Screen Size there.

This instructions is taken from the web:

1. Go to File > Preferences
2. Go to Display
3. Change Maximum Guest Screen Size to Hint or to None.
4. Enter 1920 x 1080 as a width and height.
5. Restart the virtual machine and voila! It just shows the right resolution.

This doesn't work for me, both hint or none.
