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.

(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>. - </p> - - <p> - <b> - 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. - </b> - </p> - - <p> - 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.

It's - available at <i>resources/utilities/macbook21-three-finger-tap</i> in - the libreboot git repository.
