On the T400 and T500 (maybe others), some of the higher resolution panels (e.g. 1440x900, 1680x1050, 1920x1200) fail in libreboot.
@strong{All X200/X200S/X200T LCD panels are believed to be compatible.}
@uref{index.html,Back to previous index}.
@node The problem
@chapter The problem
@anchor{#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.
@node Current workaround
@chapter Current workaround:
@anchor{#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 @strong{i915.lvds_channel_mode=2} as a kernel option in grub.cfg.
@node Differences in dmesg kernel parameter added
@chapter Differences in dmesg (kernel parameter added: )
@anchor{#differences-in-dmesg-kernel-parameter-added}
@uref{https://01.org/linuxgraphics/documentation/how-report-bugs,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.
@uref{http://www.coreboot.org/pipermail/coreboot/attachments/20150712/d2e214bb/attachment-0002.txt,dmesg with coreboot-libre} (coreboot) - See: @emph{[drm:intel_lvds_init] detected single-link lvds configuration}

What happens: backlight turns on at boot, then turns off. At no point is there a working visual display.
