Hello everybody!
I have problems with getting coreboot running on a Lenovo ThinkPad
T430.
Better to say: Running with the integrated second graphics adapter NVS
5400M. The Intel HD 4000 is working fine and from the wiki I know that
NVidia Optimus is not supported for now. So what to do exactly getting
the graphics adapter running? Even only NVidia only would be great.
Both
adapters are not needed on GNU-Linux for my usecase. I have two
VGA-ROMs
extracted and compiled this using the concurrent stable-version 4.7.
Is
this wrong? Some help and hints would be appreciated.
Best regards,
Tobias.
Hello Tobias,
You can switch between GPUs by changing the value of the
hybrid_graphics_mode CMOS setting using nvramcui or nvramtool.
Currently, for the T430 this field can be set to either Integrated only
or Dedicated only. Make sure you are using CMOS for configuration
values. Unfortunately, I was unable to switch the power for the dGPU
off at all, which resulted in rather high power consumption even if
only the integrated GPU is enabled.
Regards,
Michał Kopeć
