## 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 keys
- `acpi_osi=Linux` to enable multimedia special function keys
- `pci=nocrs` to discard pci ACPI informations, may fix boot problems
- `i915.i915_enable_rc6=1` to enable deeper sleep states (power saving)
- `i915.i915_enable_fbc=1` to enable framebuffer compression (power saving)

### Kernel modules parameters

The following parameters enable headset micro detection for sound capture, sound power saving and backlight control:

    /etc/modprobe.d/swift5.conf

    options snd-hda-intel model=dell-headset-multi
    options snd-hda-intel power_save=1
    options i915 enable_dpcd_backlight
