T400 finally liberated

I received my new BBB and have been able to set it up today. This time I have been especially careful and flashed it successfully. I ran into an issue with the higher resolution display (which has 1440x900px on this device).

There has been some notes on the Libreboot web page but they did not work out for me until I figured out that there was a bug in the documentation. I sent a fix to the mailinglist which has already been applied, so if you look at the page now it already contains the corrected parameters.

I am also getting used to all the screws of the T400 which are definitely a lot. 😉

Besides that there have been some changes in the website hosting. https://freie.computer is now set up on a Raspi which is freely hosted on pcextreme.nl (thanks for the service). It might be a bit slow but it should work out to get in touch with us. And yes, you also might have noticed the s in the http string. It is now SSL enabled by default using StartSSL certificates. This might change when letsencrypt is ready for the public.
