General info about the Acer Swift 5 SF515-51T laptop. Everything pretty much works out of the box, follow standard documentation for details.

## Disabling UEFI Secure Boot

To disable Secure Boot, set the supervisor password in the BIOS settings. Then you should be able to disable Secure Boot and boot Arch.

## Changing SATA mode to AHCI

To change SATA mode to AHCI, in BIOS settings navigate to the Main tab. If you do not see `SATA Mode` settings press `Ctrl+s` and navigate tabs forwards and backward. `SATA Mode` option should now appear.

## 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)
