Hi everyone :)
Libreboot is a fully free (as in freedom) BIOS replacement, which initializes
the hardware and loads your operating system. Minifree is known in the
Trisquel community for providing laptops with this preinstalled alongside
Trisquel.
As of today, Minifree has launched a new
Does the tablet use the MultiTouch display, the outdoor display or a
different one (see the link for details)?

Some might have it, but I'm not currently focusing on that. You could mention
it in the textbox on the checkout page, and I'd see if I have one that has
it. Some X200 Tablets have it, some don't, according to thinkwiki.

Great news. Thanks for expanding the number of free devices.

Hopefully the FSF RYF announcement will be out soon.
X200t was (and is) a nice shape-shifting tablet PC with digitizer pen
support. I originally run Fedora "Design Suite" spin but subsequently
switched to Debian/Trisquel.
I had five of them and shared (gave away) two with my friends. One's

If you have some X200 Tablets and you want Libreboot on them, you could send
them to Minifree for flashing. Minifree has a Libreboot Installation Service:

Price is per laptop/system flashed, but if you're sending more than 2

I recently bought that x200 tablet from Minifree. Previously I had a 32bit
x60s with libreboot, and it was worth the upgrade! The battery lasts 6 hours,
and Minifree shipped an extra one. So 12 hours on the go! The wacom screen
works well. I can make my notes on the screen instead of paper, a
I am also interested in another X series Tablet model. The X60t with 64-bit
processor and SXGA+ screen. If there is a 3rd antenna, all the better.
Though the 945 series motherboard only support 3 GiB RAM, I still want a
64-bit processor.
I tried this script but it didn't work. Any other suggestions?
Am I missing some step?
Thanks!
I am curious, do you think you will ever be able to put libreboot on one of
those 2 in 1 laptops in the future?
I am curious not because I need one, but because its a thing of interest to
me. To know for the future. Recommendations, etc...
Okay, my bad. Here's a more detailed explanation. First of all you need to
have packages installed which provide "xrandr" and "xsetwacom". These are
probably "x11-xserver-util" and "xserver-xorg-input-wacom". I already had
them installed so no problems there. A possible reason why the above s
Eemeli, could you document this on libreboot.org? Libreboot docs are mostly
for libreboot itself, but for things like this we often merge documentation
to help people.
Info about submitting patches to the libreboot docs are here:
https://libreboot.org/git.html
Excellent! Works great!
Thank you so much!
But what about the "outdoor" display?
alyssa PM'd me on IRC, and told me there are recent 2-in-1 laptops
(RK3288/RK3399 chromebooks) which theoretically should already be libreboot
compatible
Thank you Eemeli. I've made a copy of your notes and I will use these for new
Minifree X200T orders.
You're welcome. I have been quite busy and lazy lately so haven't added the
documentation to libreboot yet. Those scripts are based on one from the Arch
Linux wiki. I'll see how to add these... Probably as files in
resourses/utilitities/x200t-screen-rotation + a mention somewhere else?
Ther
The X200T documentation is virtually non-existent in Libreboot, since it's
the same schematic and board design for the most part.
The digitizer needs to be documented, as you quite rightly point out.
The flashing process also needs to be documented (there is an incomplete
guide currently under
Pull request done!
On a sidenote: the instructions at Libreboot for making pull requests,
https://libreboot.org/git.html#how-to-submit-your-patches-via-pull-requests
are VERY useful. I recently heard that a large part of people starting to
work in software development have never heard of pull
REVIEW:
After a long waiting time (about a month) my laptop arrived.
From packaging to the general state of the computer, everything is
impeccable; carefully packed in bubble wrap was the laptop itself, charger,
an extra battery and with 3 sheets to accompany with general data and quick
tip
Interesting, something to look into for the future I guess. :)
