On a side note, when more than one option is possible, it's good to know which the tester used. Hypothetical example: did someone test the X230 with a vgabios blob or with libgfxinit? If unspecified, or if the default is the vgabiosblob (or nothing at all, as above) then who knows if libgfxinit works? -Matt On Mon, Jun 3, 2019 at 4:21 PM Mike Banon <mikeb...@gmail.com> wrote: > Okay, I returned your boards but added a note that "no board_status > report yet".
