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.

      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.
