Configuration
Kernel boot parameters
The following parameters can be added to boot arguments as explained in Kernel parameters:
acpi_backlight=video
to enable backlight setting from keyboard function keysacpi_osi=Linux
to enable multimedia special function keyspci=nocrs
to discard pci ACPI informations, may fix boot problemsi915.i915_enable_rc6=1
to enable deeper sleep states (power saving)i915.i915_enable_fbc=1
to enable framebuffer compression (power saving)usbcore.quirks=2386:433b:bk
to enable touchscreen (2386:433b
is the ID for the touchscreen fromlsusb
)
Kernel modules parameters
The following parameters enable:
- selection of DSP sound driver (legacy) instead of SOF (after linux-5.4) still unstable (see FS#65635)
- headset micro detection for sound capture
- sound power saving
- backlight control from keyboard
/etc/modprobe.d/swift5.conf
options snd-intel-dspcfg dsp_driver=1 options snd-hda-intel model=dell-headset-multi options snd-hda-intel power_save=1 options i915 enable_dpcd_backlight
