Settings
Video
Laptop comes with two GPU's (main INTEL and dedicated NVIDIA):
$ lspci | grep VGA
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Atom Processor Z36xxx/Z37xxx Series Graphics & Display (rev 0e)
For Intel HD install: xf86-video-intel
$ lspci | grep 3D
01:00.0 3D controller: NVIDIA Corporation GF117M [GeForce 610M/710M/810M/820M / GT 620M/625M/630M/720M] (rev a1)
For using Nvidia install bumblebee along with Nvidia and Intel drivers[broken link: invalid section].
Lan
Works fine with no configuration required.
Wifi
Wifi does not work out of box, because you need to install broadcom-wl-dkms-248AUR driver.
Ethernet works good, so you can use cable for installing wifi driver.
Audio
Install PulseAudio.
After installation, reboot the laptop to ensure all modules are loaded. Audio works well both with pure ALSA and with PulseAudio.
Touchpad
Touchpad works with: xf86-input-synaptics
Brightness
Brightness does work out of box, but you can not change value with keyboard combo, buttons are not mapped at all (fn + F5 / fn + F6), until you use the kernel parameter acpi_osi= acpi_backlight=native
to your bootloader. acpi_osi=
it's indeed followed by a blank space + acpi_backlight=native
. This is only way when backlight can be controled with keyboard combo keys.
Webcam
Cheese works fine out of the box.
Bluetooth & Card reader
Bluetooth has not been tested because it is not used. The card reader has not been tested too, but it should work fine.
Problems
Led
No way to solve the problem of led for wifi. Every other led (battery, hdd, backlight) works good, but led for wifi does not work even keyboard combo (fn + F2) for enabling / disabling wifi works.
