- 'Supported' means that the build scripts know how to build ROM images for these systems,
- and that the systems have been tested (confirmed working). There may be exceptions;
- in other words, this is a list of 'officially' supported systems.
- </p>
-
- <p>
- It is also possible to build ROM images (from source) for other systems (and virtual systems, e.g. QEMU).

- <h2 id="t60_ati_intel">ThinkPad T60 (ATI GPU) and ThinkPad T60 (Intel GPU) differences.</h2>
-
- <p>
- If your T60 is a 14.1&quot; or 15.1&quot; 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&quot; (Intel GPU) and 15.1&quot; (Intel GPU) T60 motherboards are the same, where
- 'spacers' are used on the 15.1&quot; 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&quot; 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),
- and it is believed that this is the only difference.

- 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.

- Installing GNU/Linux distributions (on Apple EFI firmware)

- <li><a href="#">Parabola GNU/Linux installation on a macbook2,1 with Apple EFI firmware</a> (this is a copy of Mono's page, see above)</li>

- <p>
- 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:
- </p>
-
-<pre>
-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.
- Option "HorizHysteresis" "10"
- Option "VertHysteresis" "10"
-# Prevent two-finger scrolling. Very jerky movement
- Option "HorizTwoFingerScroll" "0"
- Option "VertTwoFingerScroll" "0"
-# Use edge scrolling
- Option "HorizEdgeScroll" "1"
- Option "VertEdgeScroll" "1"

- <p>
- A user reported that the above is only for linux kernel 3.15 or lower. For newer kernels,
- the touchpad works fine out of the box, except middle tapping.
- </p>
-
- <p>
- A user submitted a utility to enable 3-finger tap on this laptop. It's
- available at <i>resources/utilities/macbook21-three-finger-tap</i> in
- the libreboot git repository. The script is for GNOME, confirmed to
- work in Trisquel 7.
