Recommended kernel parameters for Dell Mobile Precision 7510 and 7710

Solution Unverified - Updated -

Environment

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.3
  • Dell Mobile Precision 7510 or 7710

Issue

  • Recommended kernel parameters for Dell Mobile Precision 7510 and 7710

Resolution

Red Hat does not require 3D or GPGPU functionality or performance to be tested for system certification.

With "Discrete Graphics" selected in the BIOS no additional kernel parameters were used.
With "Switchable Graphics" selected in the BIOS the certification was run with a parameter to disable the unused discrete GPU, and the system was certified using only the Intel i915 video driver. (nouveau.modset=0 or radeon.modeset=0 as appropriate)

See "Switchable Graphics" Support in Red Hat Enterprise Linux for more information about "Switchable Graphics".
