Dell Latitude 7370 - ArchWiki

# Dell Latitude 7370

These laptops are a part of the Latitude 13 7000 Series featuring Intel Skylake [1]. This series does have _some_ relation to the Dell XPS 13 (2016) for general reference.

## kernel

It is highly suggest to run a 4.6 (or greater) kernel (currently outside of core) via something like linux-mainlineAUR

## dock

The TB15 thunderbolt dock is still a work-in-progress for support [2]. It seems to, currently, work best when plugged in before booting and avoiding any form of hot-plugging [3]

## bios

### updating

Download the BIOS update from the dell site and place it at the root of a FAT-formatted USB disk. Reboot and hit F12 during startup, selecting "BIOS Flash Update". The simple file browser should see the executable, select it and allow the update to occur.

## card reader

The Broadcom reader is currently not supported via ccid and pcsclite. It may also require a firmware/BIOS update : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pcsc-lite/+bug/1596662

## touchpad

There is a known issue where the touchpad is detected as "ImPS/2 BYD TouchPad", a patch is in the works [4].

## displays

The display is a HiDPI display. If experiencing screen flashes during boot it could be advised to add the "i915" driver to the MODULES in mkinitcpio.conf and regenerate

     sudo mkinitcpio -p linux

Due to being HiDPI it is also common to notice latency when using desktop environments like Gnome-Shell. Installing "vulkan-intel" appears to alleviate some of these issues.

## lspci and lsusb

On kernel '4.8.0-rc1-mainline' via linux-mainlineAUR

## known issues

### suspend

It appears the system can get into a state in which suspend will stop working (system will suspend but upon attempt to resume will cold boot)[5]. Current resolution appears to be to perform a shutdown within the system and suspend should start working again.

### no keyboard

It appears that on linux-mainlineAUR the system will boot without a keyboard. This can be resolved by adding `i8042` to the MODULES line in `/etc/mkinitcpio.conf`
