## Hardware support

In this section you will find some quick information and references for hardware support. See Laptop and Laptop/Dell for more general information on laptops.

### Audio

Audio works out of the box.

PC speaker capability is included. See PC speaker for information on how to disable it and more.

### Bluetooth

Install the bluez package, start `bluetooth` systemd service and use your preferred front-end to manage connections. See Bluetooth for more information.

### Fingerprint reader

Install the fprintd package, as it is required to create fingerprint signatures. See fprint for more useful information.

### Touchpad

Install the libinput package. See Laptop#Touchpad.

### Wireless

You may find out which wireless network card you have with:

    $ lspci | grep Broadcom | grep -v Ethernet

It seems this laptop may have BCM5761 or BCM43228.

In both cases, you will need the proprietary driver broadcom-wl.

## Troubleshooting

### Issue with XKeyboardConfig

While starting the graphic interface, you might come across with the issue !6 reported in xkbcomp's Gitlab issue list at freedesktop Gitlab. It seems to apply to both Xorg and Wayland. During the display server startup, the XKEYBOARD keymap compiler (xkbcomb) reports:

    > Warning:          Compat map for group 2 redefined
    >                   Using new definition
    > Warning:          Compat map for group 3 redefined
    >                   Using new definition
    > Warning:          Compat map for group 4 redefined
    >                   Using new definition
    Errors from xkbcomp are not fatal to the X server

One solution is to comment out the following lines in the file `/usr/share/X11/xkb/compat/basic`. The double forward-slash is the comment symbol.

     //    group 2 = AltGr;
     //    group 3 = AltGr;
     //    group 4 = AltGr;

This solution of provided in the forum thread Xkeyboard/xkbcomp gives warnings.
