[Libreboot] EDID dump for T400 with dual graphics, 1440 x 900 screen.

[False False]

Greetings and Salutations:

I installed i2c-tools and read-edid

I tried:

sudo get-edid | strings

and got what I presume was get-edid output, but also got the error message:

bash: strings: command not found

so I tried:

sudo get-edid | parse-edid

and got this output: (I hope it serves the same purpose) (all of the below 
information was
contained in the sudo get-edid | strings output, and this has additional 
information, so I am
including solely this output)

Then I tried

sudo modprobe i2c-dev

sudo i2cdump -y [integer] 0x50

where integers from 1 to 9 were tried. The only meaningful output was for an 
integer value of 4, which follows:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

$ sudo i2cdump -y 4 0x50

sudo rmmod i2c-dev

The equipment I am running is

T400 with Dual Graphics, T9900 CPU and 4GB ram. I think it may be an education 
model, because its model number was similar to the education models in the 
massive list of the T400 's I downloaded. This model number: 2768-EK9 was not 
in that list. It has almost all possible features except for the WWAN card, but 
has the antenna and miniPCI slot for the WWAN card. This boots fine with 
Factory.Rom, but not at all with Libreboot.Rom, at least not the way I was 
compiling it. I have not tried the newest t400_8mb_usqwerty_vesafb.rom from the 
libreboot.org website.

Note: the T9900 CPU is an upgrade from factory. I haven't tried the orginal CPU 
with Libreboot.Rom yet. The 4GB of ram installed is most likely the factory 
ram, as it came with the machine when I bought it. In case you wonder about my 
assembly technique, the T400 has always worked with the Factory.Rom and the 
factory 4GB RAM. I haven't tried every permutation of installed gear and 
version of libreboot.rom because each assembly / dissasembly is a risk of 
breaking something, most likely a connector.

If you need the output of get-edid | strings, tell me what package installs 
'strings' command.
