+
+This sections relates to known hardware compatibility in libreboot.
+
+For installatation instructions, refer to [../install/](../install/).
+
+List of supported hardware
+--------------------------
+
+Libreboot supports the following systems in this release:
+
+### Desktops (AMD, Intel, x86)
+
+-   [Gigabyte GA-G41M-ES2L motherboard](ga-g41m-es2l.md)
+-   [Intel D510MO motherboard](d510mo.md)

+
+'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.
+
+It is also possible to build ROM images (from source) for other systems
+(and virtual systems, e.g. QEMU).
+
+EC update on i945 (X60, T60) and GM45 (X200, T400, T500, R400, W500)
+==============================================================
+
+It is recommended that you update to the latest EC firmware version. The
+[EC firmware](../../faq.md#ec-embedded-controller-firmware) is separate from
+libreboot, so we don't actually provide that, but if you still have
+Lenovo BIOS then you can just run the Lenovo BIOS update utility, which
+will update both the BIOS and EC version. See:
+
+-   [../install/#flashrom](../install/#flashrom)
+-   <http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/BIOS_update_without_optical_disk>
+
+NOTE: this can only be done when you are using Lenovo BIOS. How to
+update the EC firmware while running libreboot is unknown. Libreboot
+only replaces the BIOS firmware, not EC.
+
+Updated EC firmware has several advantages e.g. bettery battery
+handling.
+
+How to find what EC version you have (i945/GM45)
+================================================
+
+In GNU+Linux, you can try this:
+
+    $ grep 'at EC' /proc/asound/cards
+
+Sample output:
+
+    ThinkPad Console Audio Control at EC reg 0x30, fw 7WHT19WW-3.6
+
+7WHT19WW is the version in different notation, use search engine to find
+out regular version - in this case it's a 1.06 for x200 tablet
+
+Recommended wifi chipsets
+-------------------------
+
+The following are known to work well:
+
+-   mini PCI express cards using the Atheros AR9285 chipset (e.g.
+    Atheros AR5B95) - 802.11n
+-   USB dongles using the AR9271 chipset (e.g. Unex DNuA 93-F) - 802.11n
+-   Any of the chipsets listed at
+    <https://h-node.org/wifi/catalogue/en/1/1/undef/undef/yes?>
+
+The following was mentioned (on IRC), but it's unknown to the libreboot
+project if these work with linux-libre kernel (TODO: test):
+
+-   ar5bhb116 ar9382 ABGN
+-   \[0200\]: Qualcomm Atheros AR242x / AR542x Wireless Network Adapter
+    (PCI-Express) \[168c:001c\]
+
+List of supported ThinkPad X60s
+-------------------------------
+
+Native gpu initialization ('native graphics') which replaces the
+proprietary VGA Option ROM ('[Video
+BIOS](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_BIOS)' or 'VBIOS'), all
+known LCD panels are currently compatible:
+
+To find what LCD panel you have, see:

+
+You can remove an X61/X61s motherboard from the chassis and install an
+X60/X60s motherboard in it's place (for flashing libreboot). The
+chassis is mostly identical and the motherboards are the same
+shape/size.
+
+The X60 typically comes with an Intel wifi chipset which does not work
+at all without proprietary firmware, and while Lenovo BIOS is running
+the system will refuse to boot if you replace the card. Fortunately it
+is very easily replaced; just remove the card and install another one
+*after* libreboot is installed. See
+[\#recommended\_wifi](#recommended_wifi) for replacements.
+
+List of supported ThinkPad X60 Tablets
+--------------------------------------
+
+Native gpu initialization ('native graphics') which replaces the
+proprietary VGA Option ROM ('[Video
+BIOS](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_BIOS)' or 'VBIOS').
+
+To find what LCD panel you have, see:
+[../misc/\#get\_edid\_panelname](../misc/#get_edid_panelname).
+
+There are 6 known LCD panels for the X60 Tablet:
+
+-   *X60T XGA (1024x768):*
+    -   BOE-Hydis HV121X03-100 (works)
+    -   Toshiba Matsushita LTD121KC9B (works)
+    -   Samsung LTN121XP01 (does not work. blank screen)
+    -   BOE-Hydis HT12X21-351 (does not work. blank screen)
+-   *X60T SXGA+ (1400x1050):*
+    -   BOE-Hydis HV121P01-100 (works)
+    -   BOE-Hydis HV121P01-101 (works)
+
+Most X60Ts only have digitizer (pen), but some have finger (touch)
+aswell as pen; finger/multitouch doesn't work, only digitizer (pen)
+does.
+
+You can remove an X61/X61s motherboard from the chassis and install an
+X60/X60s motherboard in its place (for flashing libreboot). The chassis
+is mostly identical and the motherboards are the same shape/size. *It
+is unknown if the same applies between the X60 Tablet and the X61
+Tablet*.
+
+The X60 Tablet typically comes with an Intel wifi chipset which does not
+work at all without proprietary firmware, and while Lenovo BIOS is
+running the system will refuse to boot if you replace the card.
+Fortunately it is very easily replaced; just remove the card and install
+another one *after* libreboot is installed. See
+[\#recommended\_wifi](#recommended_wifi) for replacements.
+
+A user with a X60T that has digitizer+finger support, reported that they
+could get finger input working. They used linuxwacom at git tag
+0.25.99.2 and had the following in their xorg.conf:
+
+    # Now, for some reason (probably a bug in linuxwacom),
+    # the 'Touch=on' directive gets reset to 'off'.

+It is unknown whether the 1680x1050 (15.4") and 1920x1200 (15.4")
+panels use a different inverter board than the 1280x800 panels.
+
+The T60 typically comes with an Intel wifi chipset which does not work
+at all without proprietary firmware, and while Lenovo BIOS is running
+the system will refuse to boot if you replace the card. Fortunately it
+is very easily replaced; just remove the card and install another one
+*after* libreboot is installed. See
+[\#recommended\_wifi](#recommended_wifi) for replacements.
+
+ThinkPad T60 (ATI GPU) and ThinkPad T60 (Intel GPU) differences
+----------------------------------------------------------------
+
+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.
+
+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.
+
+There is also a 15.4" T60 with Intel GPU.
+
+Note: the T60*p* laptops all have ATI graphics. The T60p laptops
+cannot be used with libreboot under any circumstances.
+
+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):\
+
+![](../images/t60_dev/t60_unbrick.jpg)
+
+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.
+
+The 'Video BIOS' is what initializes graphics.
+
+See: <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_BIOS>.\
+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.
+
+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).
+
+Information about the macbook1,1
+--------------------------------
+
+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
+[MacBook2,1](#information-about-the-macbook21) to coreboot, the ROM images also work on the
+macbook1,1.
+
+You can refer to [\#information-about-the-macbook21](#information-about-the-macbook21)
+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.
+
+It is believed that all models are compatible, listed here:
+
+-   <http://www.everymac.com/ultimate-mac-lookup/?search_keywords=MacBook1,1>
+
+### Compatible models
+
+Specifically (Order No. / Model No. / CPU):
+
+-   MA255LL/A / A1181 (EMC 2092) / Core Duo T2500 *(tested - working)*
+-   MA254LL/A / A1181 (EMC 2092) / Core Duo T2400 *(tested - working)*
+-   MA472LL/A / A1181 (EMC 2092) / Core Duo T2500 (untested)
+
+Unbricking: [this page shows disassembly
+guides](https://www.ifixit.com/Device/MacBook_Core_2_Duo) and mono's
+page (see [\#information-about-the-macbook21](#information-about-the-macbook21))
+shows the location of the SPI flash chip on the motherboard. [How to remove the motherboard](https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/MacBook+Core+2+Duo+PRAM+Battery+Replacement/529).
+
+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 [../install/bbb\_setup.md](../install/bbb_setup.md).
+
+Information about the macbook2,1
+--------------------------------
+
+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 their macbook2,1, and now libreboot
+can run on it.
+
+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 that this person 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.

+
+### Installing GNU+Linux distributions (on Apple EFI firmware)
+
+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
+[../install/\#flashrom\_macbook21](../install/#flashrom_macbook21).

+
+For external flashing, refer to
+[../install/bbb\_setup.md](../install/bbb_setup.md).
+
+You need to replace OS X with GNU+Linux before flashing libreboot. (OSX
+won't run at all in libreboot).
+
+### Issues and solutions
+
+There is one mouse button only, however multiple finger tapping
+works. Battery life is poor compared to X60/T60. The Apple logo on the
+back is a hole, exposing the backlight, which means that it glows. You
+should [cover it up](http://cweiske.de/tagebuch/tuxbook.htm).
+
+*The MacBook2,1 comes with a webcam which does not work with free
+software. Webcams are a privacy and security risk; cover it up! Or
+remove it.*
+
+Further issues do have solutions:
+
+#### Enable AltGr
+
+The keyboard has a keypad enter instead of an AltGr. The first key on
+the right side of the spacebar is the Apple "command" key. On its
+right is the keypad enter. We can make it act as an AltGr.
+
+If your operating system is Trisquel or other dpkg-based distribution,
+there is an easy solution. Under root (or sudo) run
+
+    # dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration
+
+and select the option "apple laptop", leave other settings as their
+defaults until you are given the option "Use Keypad Enter as
+AltGr". Select this. The keypad enter key will then act as an AltGr
+everywhere.
+
+
+For Parabola or other systemd-based distributions you can enable AltGr
+manually. Simply add the line
+
+    KEYMAP_TOGGLE=lv3:enter_switch
+
+to the file /etc/vconsole.conf and then restart the computer.
+
+
+#### Enable 3-finger tap
+
+A user submitted a utility to enable 3-finger tap on this laptop. It's
+available at *resources/utilities/macbook21-three-finger-tap* in the
+libreboot git repository.
+
+
+#### Make touchpad more responsive
+
+Linux kernels of version 3.15 or lower might make the touchpad
+extremely sluggish. A user reported that they could get better
