LCD compatibility on GM45 laptops

+ +

+ On the T400 and T500 (maybe others), some of the higher resolution panels + (e.g. 1440x900, 1680x1050, 1920x1200) fail in libreboot. +

+ +

+ All X200/X200S/X200T LCD panels are believed to be compatible. +

+ +

+ Back to previous index. +

+
+ +
+

The problem

+

+ In some cases, backlight turns on during boot, sometimes not. In all cases, + no display is shown in GRUB, nor in GNU/Linux. +

+

+ Current workaround: +

+

+ Libreboot (git, and releases after 20150518) now automatically detect whether + to use single or dual link LVDS configuration. If you're using an older version, + use the instructions below. In practise, this means that you'll get a visual + display when booting GNU/Linux, but not in GRUB (payload). +

+ +

+ The i915 module in the Linux kernel also provides an option to set the LVDS link configuration. + i915.lvds_channel_mode:Specify LVDS channel mode (0=probe BIOS [default], 1=single-channel, 2=dual-channel) (int) + - from /sbin/modinfo i915 - use i915.lvds_channel_mode=2 as a kernel option in grub.cfg. +

+
+ +
+

Differences in dmesg (kernel parameter added: )

+

+ https://01.org/linuxgraphics/documentation/how-report-bugs +

+

+ These panels all work in the original firmware, so the idea is to see what differences there are in how coreboot handles them. +

+

+ dmesg with coreboot-libre (coreboot) - + See: [drm:intel_lvds_init] detected single-link lvds configuration +

+

+ dmesg with lenovobios (lenovobios) - + For the same line, it says dual-channel lvds configuration. +

+
+ +
+ +

EDID

+ +

+ One T500 had a screen (1920x1200) that is currently incompatible. Working to fix it. EDID: +
