In order to use framebuffer (Xfbdev) you will need to have a persistent store, e.g., a PPR. Boot Tiny Core as follows, using an appropriate vga code from the f2 boot help screen and an appropriate disk partition. boot: tinycore tce=hda1 text vga=788 At the system prompt: $ tce-load Xfbdev.tce wget install # This is for TC 2.2 and below $ tce-load -w -i Xfbdev.tcz # This is for TC 2.3 and above $ xsetup.sh $ startx From the X desktop, shutdown with backup. Your Xfbdev X settings will be saved and used on the next boot. Do not use the text boot code and your framebuffer X server should start successfully.
