If you also have coreboot logs, that would be great. It seems that upstream coreboot has a regression somewhere in native graphics initialization on the T400. Previous betas worked, before we updated the revision of coreboot used for your laptop. We'll have to revert back to the previous revision for now, and disable text mode on it, until this can be fixed. Other people also reported the same issue as you with the T400. We also need to do this for now on X200, because USB is broken for some reason in text mode on that system (unless it's fixed). By the way, what you've done to that metal chassis around the board is not good. That part of it is needed for structural integrity. If you want easier access to the chip, you could solder wires and route those instead. You've already done it now, so no point worrying. - -- Leah Rowe Libreboot developer Use free software.
