I dont really want to use that proprietary driver, but I plan on getting an old Thinkpad W530 that has some probably pretty slow NVIDIA GPU. Do you know if these are well supported by Noveau? Would be great!
I want to play around with coreboot, flashing heads onto that laptop and all.
Not the person you’re replying to, but I happen to have a writeup on my blog! https://timkenhan.co/blog/20230720--w530-coreboot
Great post! I didnt get the W530 in the end as 350€ is pretty much for such an old laptop, but someone else wanted it so bad…
I destroyed my CH341A and now I got a blue one but still shipping, then I will flash my T430 which should make no problems, no NVIDIA and all
Should be more straightforward without the Nvidia stuff since you don’t need the option ROM for it.
I never have T430, but all the 30 series should be the same in term of flashing procedure except for the chip locations.
