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.
Whoo, that sounds bad. I hope a more aggressive fancurve could fix this, it shoould be possible using thinkfan? Never succeeded with that software and its weird old documentation.
Btw, do you have any guide for flashing? A photo of your process, the location of the chips, names, order, extracting blobs etc? Documentation is so important! I will write some for the T430 and maybe W530 for heads
Not the person you’re replying to, but I happen to have a writeup on my blog! https://timkenhan.co/blog/20230720--w530-coreboot
The overheating isn’t much of an issue in other cases. When I’m not building packages, the temperature is on safe level. I’ve also ran Debian & Linux Mint on it with no issue (with nouveau)
I don’t have any writeup on it, unfortunately…
