Thinkpad W530 No GPU output
I downloaded the VGA ROM for my Thinkpad W530 for both the Intel IGPU and Nvidia Quadro K1000M using this and configured the build config to use them with the correct PCI ports (8086,0166 10de,0ffc). Everything works fine except the output for both the VGA and the mini DP port. Does anyone have any ideas of what I could be missing here?

Can i make full disk encryption more convenient or should i just use an encrypted home dir?
You may be interested in Heads, which is available on Purism laptops under the name PureBoot. Though this really needs a coreboot-capable machine, I think, and isn't something you can just add to your existing UEFI boot chain.

You don't need to encrypt anything to verify those images, you just need to sign them. See how Heads does this.

Live OS needs a new name, what should it be?
Unfortunately there is also the Heads secure firmware: https://osresearch.net/ as well. Otherwise my vote would go to Heads. Liive OS could be pretty hard to optimize in a search engine, they'll think it's misspelled. Could call it "Miles" and just never ack the reference...

verify secure flash
If you worried about malicious changes, there is the write lock protection feature in coreboot that prevents internal flashing. This would require you to flash externally whenever you want to update coreboot. If worried someone will also flash your BIOS externally, you may want to look into Heads

T430 classic keyboard mod help needed - can't flash the EC
Hi all, some of you might be familiar with the T430 classic keyboard hack. I seem to be stuck. I followed the instructions here to physically modify the keyboard. I downgraded my BIOS to the 2.81 version. I installed Linux Mint on a spare SSD, booted into it, and followed the github instructions here to create the bootable USB. However, when I boot the USB to modify the firmware, I run into an error message before it starts. I'm not quite sure what it means or how to get it to proceed. Does anyone have any experience with this?

Using coreboot for keybinds?
If your notebook is a thinkpad from the xx30 series you can do a custom keymap for the embedded controller with thinpad-ec - you'd need to flash back bios, update EC, flash back coreboot. I've done that to have a native dvorak keyboard with control on the right position.

Coreboot vs Ivyrain vs Skulls vs Heads
In regards to unlocking third-party batteries on the Ivy Bridge ThinkPad laptops, this is handled by the embedded controller firmware, stored on a completely separate chip from the system firmware. On these systems, coreboot is not concerned with the embedded controller functionality at all. There is a separate project that handles this: thinkpad-ec
