Configuration
Clickpad
worked out of the box for my with xf86-input-synaptics 1.6.2-4
In some cases it is necessary to add the following to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-touchpad.conf
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "touchpad"
MatchProduct "SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad"
Driver "synaptics"
# fix touchpad resolution
Option "VertResolution" "100"
Option "HorizResolution" "65"
# disable synaptics driver pointer acceleration
Option "MinSpeed" "1"
Option "MaxSpeed" "1"
# tweak the X-server pointer acceleration
Option "AccelerationProfile" "2"
Option "AdaptiveDeceleration" "16"
Option "ConstantDeceleration" "16"
Option "VelocityScale" "32"
EndSection
Video
In order to use the builtin intel graphics adapter you will have to install the corresponding drivers:
# pacman -S xf86-video-intel intel-dri libva-intel-driver
Option "AccelMethod" "SNA" in xorg.conf works well for me.
Wireless
Intel Centrino Wireless-N 2230 (rev c4)
Works out of the box. Module: iwldvm
Sound
Works out of the box. Module: snd-hda-intel
Webcam
Works out of the box (tested using cheese)
Power
Suspend works out of the box. Hibernate works using pm-utils (see Suspend and Hibernate#Kernel). Uswsusp was not tested
Troubleshooting
Brightness control
Brightness can only be switched between darkest and brightest values using OS method. So it's better to use hardware vendor to control it: append "acpi_backlight=vendor" to the grub kernel line!
USB2.0 not working or giving kernel traces
Not sure if this was solved by using acpi_backlight=vendor or by blacklisting these modules I don't use:
cat /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf blacklist joydev blacklist pcspkr blacklist iTCO_vendor_support blacklist iTCO_wdt
