Missing xrandr on piCore

[Rabie]

Hi There,
i am missing the Extension xrandr on piCore V13.x/armv7

could this be used on PiCore for using dual screen ?


Thank you

[Juanito]

Can you use libXrandr with an xorg conf snippet?

[Rabie]

Hi Juanito,

not really!

But i prefer to use xrandr if that possible, cause i already programmed an GUI for it

[Juanito]

xrandr added to piCore repos

[Rabie]

Hi Juanito,

thank you for your help.

xrander is needed in 17.x86-32 and 17x86-64 also.

[Juanito]

If you use the "provides" function of the apps gui, you'll see that xrandr is provided by Xorg-7.7-bin

[neonix]

You could add xrandr to tags inside Xorg-7.7-bin in 32-bit and 64-bit version.

Hi neonix
Why just add xrandr to tags? Maybe we should add the other 42
file names too.

Tags are for providing hints of an extensions function or purpose.
Provides is for locating which extension(s) contain a filename.

If you want to make tinycore more user friendly I will be very happy if you do this. In the past xrandr was alone extension.

Hi neonix
TC10 x86 and TC14 x86_64 have xrandr included in Xorg-7.7-bin.tcz.
There is a separate  lxrandr.tcz  extension.

lxrandr.tcz gives me "Unable to get monitor information!"

Hi neonix
Can you use  arandr.tcz ?

I can, but dependencies have 119.08 MB. It's not minimalistic solution.

Hi neonix
I just checked TC5 - TC17 both x86-32 and x86-64, and neither has
ever had an xrandr.tcz extension.

xrandr has the following direct dependencies:

Code: [Select]

rich@tcbox:~$ readelf -d pkg/usr/local/bin/xrandr | grep '(NEEDED)'
 0x00000001 (NEEDED)                     Shared library: [libXrandr.so.2]
 0x00000001 (NEEDED)                     Shared library: [libXrender.so.1]
 0x00000001 (NEEDED)                     Shared library: [libX11.so.6]
 0x00000001 (NEEDED)                     Shared library: [libm.so.6]
 0x00000001 (NEEDED)                     Shared library: [libc.so.6]I suspect you are running Xfbdev.
So that would satisfy libXrender.so.1 and libX11.so.6.
libm.so.6 and libc.so.6 are part of the base system.

My suggestion is you wget  Xorg-7.7-bin.tcz  and extract  xrandr.
Then install the last remaining dependency , libXrandr.tcz.
