libreboot_r20160907_grub_t400_8mb.tar.xz

What is the difference between file t400_8mb_usqwerty_txtmode.rom and t400_8mb_usqwerty_vesafb.rom.

Thanks.

In the "vesafb" ROM, coreboot is configured to provide a graphical framebuffer to the payload. This is preferred in most cases.

In the "txtmode" ROM, coreboot provides a text framebuffer. Some payloads, like Memtest86+, require this.
