[Solved] Dell XPS 13 Graphics troubleshooting

Hey all,

I recently purchased a Dell XPS 13 Developer Edition and immediately wiped Ubuntu off of it and installed Arch. It runs great except for a few minor hiccups, such as the touchpad freezing. This seems to be fixed by aggressively and randomly swiping around the pad randomly. My biggest concern is that when I play Steam games, it runs at a lower quality and frame rate than my 2008 MacBook Pro which was running Arch. That computer had an integrated graphics card while my new Dell has a dedicated Intel® HD Graphics 520 card. I feel like this system should be able to play these games at a better frame rate than my eight year old laptop and I've been googling a whole ton to try to figure it out. I'm thinking I've been looking at the same problem for too long that only fresh eyes will be able to help so here goes nothing.

/etc/mkinitcpio.conf contents

# vim:set ft=sh
# MODULES
# The following modules are loaded before any boot hooks are
# run.  Advanced users may wish to specify all system modules
# in this array.  For instance:
#     MODULES="piix ide_disk reiserfs"
MODULES="intel_agp i915 nvme"

# BINARIES
# This setting includes any additional binaries a given user may
# wish into the CPIO image.  This is run last, so it may be used to
# override the actual binaries included by a given hook
# BINARIES are dependency parsed, so you may safely ignore libraries
BINARIES=""

# FILES
# This setting is similar to BINARIES above, however, files are added
# as-is and are not parsed in any way.  This is useful for config files.
FILES="/etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf"

# HOOKS
# This is the most important setting in this file.  The HOOKS control the
# modules and scripts added to the image, and what happens at boot time.
# Order is important, and it is recommended that you do not change the
# order in which HOOKS are added.  Run 'mkinitcpio -H <hook name>' for
# help on a given hook.
# 'base' is _required_ unless you know precisely what you are doing.
# 'udev' is _required_ in order to automatically load modules
# 'filesystems' is _required_ unless you specify your fs modules in MODULES
# Examples:
##   This setup specifies all modules in the MODULES setting above.
##   No raid, lvm2, or encrypted root is needed.
#    HOOKS="base"
#
##   This setup will autodetect all modules for your system and should
##   work as a sane default
#    HOOKS="base udev autodetect block filesystems"
#
##   This setup will generate a 'full' image which supports most systems.
##   No autodetection is done.
#    HOOKS="base udev block filesystems"
#
##   This setup assembles a pata mdadm array with an encrypted root FS.
##   Note: See 'mkinitcpio -H mdadm' for more information on raid devices.
#    HOOKS="base udev block mdadm encrypt filesystems"
#
##   This setup loads an lvm2 volume group on a usb device.
#    HOOKS="base udev block lvm2 filesystems"
#
##   NOTE: If you have /usr on a separate partition, you MUST include the
#    usr, fsck and shutdown hooks.
HOOKS="base udev block autodetect modconf filesystems keyboard fsck"

# COMPRESSION
# Use this to compress the initramfs image. By default, gzip compression
# is used. Use 'cat' to create an uncompressed image.
#COMPRESSION="gzip"
#COMPRESSION="bzip2"
#COMPRESSION="lzma"
#COMPRESSION="xz"
#COMPRESSION="lzop"
#COMPRESSION="lz4"

# COMPRESSION_OPTIONS
# Additional options for the compressor

Re: [Solved] Dell XPS 13 Graphics troubleshooting

I would try this:

Install everything that is required for Intel Graphics(just in case):
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/in … stallation
Then try changing i915.enable_fbc=1 to i915.enable_fbc=0 in your arch.conf, as stated by running "modinfo -p i915":

enable_fbc:Enable frame buffer compression for power savings (default: -1 (use per-chip default)) (int)

You can also try running a lighter desktop to see if the composition is doing something. Also, just curious, does your mac has a dedicated card?

Re: [Solved] Dell XPS 13 Graphics troubleshooting

I'll give those a shot! Thanks! And nah, it's an integrated card. But also, maybe I'm just having unreasonable expectations when to comes to gaming on my laptop? And yeah, I was thinking about setting up an Openbox environment just for gaming. I just don't use a DM so switching back to gnome requires me to reboot, unless I'm missing something here.

[EDIT] Yep, that made a significant improvement. Good looking out! I'm gonna wait a bit to mark as solved to see if anyone else has any other suggestions as well. Thank you so much!

Re: [Solved] Dell XPS 13 Graphics troubleshooting

Excellent!

You can try the other parameters printed by "modinfo -p i915"
