Supported T60 list {#supported_t60_list} ------------------ 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). **Some T60s have ATI GPUs, and all T60P laptops have ATI GPUs These are incompatible! See [\#t60\_ati\_intel](#t60_ati_intel) for how to remedy this.** Tested LCD panels: **working(compatible)** - TMD-Toshiba LTD141EN9B (14.1\" 1400x1050) (FRU P/N 41W1478 recommended for the inverter board) - Samsung LTN141P4-L02 (14.1\" 1400x1050) (FRU P/N 41W1478 recommended for the inverter board) - LG-Philips LP150E05-A2K1 (15.1\" 1400x1050) (P/N 42T0078 FRU 42T0079 or P/N 41W1338 recommended for the inverter board) - Samsung LTN150P4-L01 (15.1\" 1400x1050) (P/N 42T0078 FRU 42T0079 or P/N 41W1338 recommended for the inverter board) (not a T60 screen afaik, but it works) - BOE-Hydis HV150UX1-100 (15.1\" 1600x1200) (P/N 42T0078 FRU 42T0079 or P/N 41W1338 recommended for the inverter board) [Back to top of page.](#pagetop)

ThinkPad T60 (ATI GPU) and ThinkPad T60 (Intel GPU) differences. {#t60_ati_intel} ---------------------------------------------------------------- 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):\ \  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: .\ 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). [Back to top of page.](#pagetop)

Information about the macbook1,1 {#macbook11} -------------------------------- 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](#macbook21) to coreboot, the ROM images also work on the macbook1,1. You can refer to [\#macbook21](#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: -

### 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)

Also of interest: [../git/\#config\_macbook21](../git/#config_macbook21). Unbricking: [this page shows disassembly guides](https://www.ifixit.com/Device/MacBook_Core_2_Duo) and mono\'s page (see [\#macbook21](#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.html](../install/bbb_setup.html).

Information about the macbook2,1 {#macbook21} -------------------------------- 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.

Unbricking: [this page shows disassembly guides](https://www.ifixit.com/Device/MacBook_Core_2_Duo) and mono\'s page (see above) shows the location of the SPI flash chip on the motherboard.

You need to replace OS X with GNU+Linux before flashing libreboot. (OSX won\'t run at all in libreboot). There are some issues with this system (compared to other computers that libreboot supports): 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. 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): . **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. 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" EndSection 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. 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. [Back to top of page.](#pagetop)
