Oh thank you! I have changed to none now. BTW, could the source set it to none 
automatically if add the VGA BIOS? I have used this for months and don't know 
it's flawed...
But the same setting none+VGA BIOS+SeaBIOS also not work for T440p to show 
bootloaders.

Yes, both are Manjaro with default GRUB bootloader. Both are installed in BIOS. 
I have swapped the disks between the two and tested, the result is the same. 
Could it be some issues with hardware? How to debug like get logs from 
libgfxinit/grub? I can pull the logs for you.

Yes that's the same, sorry for mistake.

Yes it added. I see the option is on by default for both T420 and T440p.
