The touchpad works out of the box. However, you may want to uncomment the line Option "AreaBottomEdge", in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-synaptics.conf.

You may also want to lock the touchpad while typing. Run

   syndaemon -k -i 2 -d

Volume keys work once volumeicon is installed.
Brightness: In /etc/default/grub, add "acpi_osi=Linux acpi_backlight=vendor" in GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX.
