Disk Partitions

The factory default partition table is a mess and the Arch Linux installation programm has troubles with it. I booted an ubuntu installation CD and partitioned the drive with that, then cancelled the installation and continued with Arch Linux. I think parted or gparted does the trick, so you can use any Linux live CD with it.

Brightness Control

To control the brightness of the display, modprobe video (the ACPI video module), via /etc/rc.conf. Then you have /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness. Use

cat < /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/max_brightness > /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness

to get maximum brightness.
