Bug #174
closedlibgfxinit on T420 results in black screen
0%
Description
Native graphics initialization works fine. But libgfxinit method results in black screen, and not even a backlight until linux kernel. When kernel boots, backlight turns on but the screen remains black.
This T420 doesn't have discrete nvidia GPU.

PCI: 00:02.0 init finished in 341 usecs
It seems that libgfxinit is either not run at all or bails out very early. It might just miss a PCI ID. Please provide your coreboot .config and the output of lspci -nn -s 0:2.0.

This is the config, the only changed part is native graphics init vs libgfxinit: https://review.coreboot.org/cgit/board-status.git/diff/lenovo/t420/4.8-1436-g41979d8/2018-09-07T23_40_08Z/config.txt?id=f7264c82915d465a536f1aeab8f29c29c7bb73eb
I'll provide the lspci output when I can.

Looks like you switched your CPU for an Ivy Bridge one? Currently*, libgfxinit has no way to detect the CPU at runtime. You'd have to change Kconfig to select Ivy Bridge, I guess.
*There are patches, feel free to review: https://review.coreboot.org/q/topic:%22dyncpu_config%22+(status:open%20OR%20status:merged)

I guess this can be closed.
That would be your part ;) the assignee solves the issue, the issuer closes it when satisfied.
