- <h2 id="t60_ati_intel">ThinkPad T60 (ATI GPU) and ThinkPad T60 (Intel GPU) differences.</h2>
- <p>
- If your T60 is a 14.1" or 15.1" model with an ATI GPU, it won't work with libreboot by default but
- you can replace the motherboard with another T60 motherboard that has an Intel GPU, and then libreboot should work.
- </p>
- <p>
- As far as I know, 14.1" (Intel GPU) and 15.1" (Intel GPU) T60 motherboards are the same, where
- 'spacers' are used on the 15.1" T60. In any case, it makes sense to find one that is guaranteed to fit in your chassis.
- </p>
- <p>
- There is also a 15.4" T60 with Intel GPU.
- </p>
- <p>
- Note: the T60<b>p</b> laptops all have ATI graphics.
- The T60p laptops cannot be used with libreboot under any circumstances.
- </p>
- <p>
- The following T60 motherboard (see area highlighted in white) shows an empty space where the ATI GPU would be (this particular motherboard has an Intel GPU):<br/><br/>
- <img src="../images/t60_dev/t60_unbrick.jpg" alt="" />
- </p>
- <p>
- The reason that the ATI GPU on T60 is unsupported is due to the VBIOS (Video BIOS) which is non-free.
- The VBIOS for the Intel GPU on X60/T60 has been reverse engineered, and replaced with Free Software and
- so will work in libreboot.
- </p>
- <p>
- The 'Video BIOS' is what initializes graphics.
- </p>
- <p>
- See: <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_BIOS">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_BIOS</a>.<br/>
- In fact, lack of free VBIOS in general is a big problem in coreboot, and is one reason (among others) why many ports for coreboot are
- unsuitable for libreboot's purpose.
- </p>
- <p>
- Theoretically, the ThinkPad T60 with ATI GPU can work with libreboot and have ROM images compiled for it, however
- in practise it would not be usable as a laptop because there would be no visual display at all. That being said,
- such a configuration is acceptable for use in a 'headless' server setup (with serial and/or ssh console as the display).

- <p>
- There is an Apple laptop called the macbook1,1 from 2006 which uses the same i945 chipset as the ThinkPad X60/T60.
- A developer ported the <a href="#macbook21">MacBook2,1</a> to coreboot, the ROM images also work on the macbook1,1.
- </p>
- <p>
- You can refer to <a href="#macbook21">#macbook21</a> for most of this. Macbook2,1 laptops come with Core 2 Duo processors
- which support 64-bit operating systems (and 32-bit). The MacBook1,1 uses Core Duo processors (supports 32-bit OS but not 64-bit),

- No method is yet known for flashing in GNU/Linux while the Apple firmware is running. You will need to disassemble the system and flash externally.
- Reading from flash seems to work. For external flashing, refer to <a href="../install/bbb_setup.html">../install/bbb_setup.html</a>.

- <h2 id="macbook21">Information about the macbook2,1</h2>
- <p>
- There is an Apple laptop called the macbook2,1 from late 2006 or early 2007 that uses the same i945 chipset
- as the ThinkPad X60 and ThinkPad T60. A developer ported coreboot to his macbook2,1, and now libreboot can run on it.
- </p>
- <p>
- Mono Moosbart is the person who wrote the port for macbook2,1. Referenced below are copies (up to date at the time of writing, 20140630)
- of the pages he wrote when porting coreboot to the macbook2,1. They are included here in case the main site goes down for
- whatever reason, since they include a lot of useful information.
- </p>
- <p>
- Backups created using wget:<br/>
- <b>$ wget -m -p -E -k -K -np http://macbook.donderklumpen.de/</b><br/>
- <b>$ wget -m -p -E -k -K -np http://macbook.donderklumpen.de/coreboot/</b><br/>
- Use <b>-e robots=off</b> if using this trick for other sites and the site restricts using robots.txt
- </p>
- <p>
- <b>Links to wget backups (and the backups themselves) of Mono's pages (see above) removed temporarily. Mono has given me permission to distribute them, but I need to ask
- him to tell me what license these works fall under first. Otherwise, the above URLs should be fine. NOTE TO SELF: REMOVE THIS WHEN DONE</b>

- How to boot an ISO: burn it to a CD (like you would normally) and hold down the Alt/Control key while booting.
- The bootloader will detect the GNU/Linux CD as 'Windows' (because Apple doesn't think GNU/Linux exists). Install it like you normally would.
- When you boot up again, hold Alt/Control once more. The installation (on the HDD) will once again be seen as 'Windows'. (it's not actually Windows,
- but Apple likes to think that Apple and Microsoft are all that exist.)
- Now to install libreboot, follow <a href="../install/index.html#flashrom_macbook21">../install/index.html#flashrom_macbook21</a>.

- You need to replace OS X with GNU/Linux before flashing libreboot. (OSX won't run at all in libreboot).
- </p>
- <p>
- There are some issues with this system (compared to other computers that libreboot supports):
- </p>
- <p>
- This is an apple laptop, so it comes with OS X: it has an Apple keyboard, which means that certain keys are missing:
- insert, del, home, end, pgup, pgdown. There is also one mouse button only. Battery life is poor compared to X60/T60 (for now).
- It also has other issues: for example, the Apple logo on the back is a hole, exposing the backlight, which means that it glows. You should cover it up.
- </p>
- <p>
- The system does get a bit hotter compared to when running the original firmware. It is certainly hotter
- than an X60/T60. The heat issues have been partially fixed by the following patch (now merged in libreboot):
- <a href="http://review.coreboot.org/#/c/7923/">http://review.coreboot.org/#/c/7923/</a>.

- The MacBook2,1 comes with a webcam, which does not work without proprietary software. Also, webcams are a security risk; cover it up! Or remove it.

- A user reported that they could get better response from the touchpad with the following in their xorg.conf:

- Section "InputClass"
- Identifier "Synaptics Touchpad"
- Driver "synaptics"
- MatchIsTouchpad "on"
- MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
- Driver "synaptics"
- # The next two values determine how much pressure one needs
- # for tapping, moving the cursor and other events.
- Option "FingerLow" "10"
- Option "FingerHigh" "15"
- # Do not emulate mouse buttons in the touchpad corners.
- Option "RTCornerButton" "0"
- Option "RBCornerButton" "0"
- Option "LTCornerButton" "0"
- Option "LBCornerButton" "0"
- # One finger tap = left-click
- Option "TapButton1" "1"
- # Two fingers tap = right-click
- Option "TapButton2" "3"
- # Three fingers tap = middle-mouse
- Option "TapButton3" "2"
- # Try to not count the palm of the hand landing on the touchpad
- # as a tap. Not sure if helps.
- Option "PalmDetect" "1"
- # The following modifies how long and how fast scrolling continues
- # after lifting the finger when scrolling
- Option "CoastingSpeed" "20"
- Option "CoastingFriction" "200"
- # Smaller number means that the finger has to travel less distance
- # for it to count as cursor movement. Larger number prevents cursor
- # shaking.
