### Display

currently the touch screen works with the drivers from the xf86-input-synaptics package from the repos. To set up amazing multitouch functionality, see Touchpad Synaptics.

    $ xrandr
    Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1280 x 800, maximum 1280 x 1280

### Bluetooth

not tested

### Network

Ethernet : RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller

  module: r8169 in kernel

Wifi : Broadcom Corporation BCM4322 802.11a/b/g/n

  Followed setup on Broadcom BCM4312
  module(s): !b43 !ssb !lib80211 lib80211_crypt_tkip wl
  the module must be reinstalled after each kernel update in order for wifi to work.

### Audio

works. see ALSA

### VGA

Follow instructions in the ATI wiki page.

### SmartCard Reader

works out of the box. just having minor privledge issues atm

### Webcam

works. followed setup as in Webcam tested using:

    $ mplayer tv:// -vf screenshot

### Modem

Not tested yet. Chances are you probably won't need this. Add some info if you find out how to set this up!

### Input

#### Keyboard

almost all Fn keys work out of the box.

- rotate screen button and configuration button are not recognized by xev
- Fn + F[1-4] are bound as:

    $ xev | grep -A2 --line-buffered '^KeyRelease' | sed -n '/keycode /s/^.*keycode \([0-9]*\).* (.*, \(.*\)).*$/\1 \2/p'
    146 Help         <- Fn+F1
    33 p             <- Fn+F2*
    37 Control_L     <- Fn+F2* (Fn+F2 performs both functions simultaneously)
    180 XF86HomePage <- Fn+F3
    33 p             <- Fn+F4

#### Touchpad

- mouse input = works
- scrollup/down = works
- tap to click = works
- mouse buttons = work

#### Stylus

- mouse input = need to modify xorg to work
- button (right click) = need to modify xorg to work
- tap to click = need to modify xorg to work
- nema.arpit getting Ntrig to work in arch

#### Remote

- Works by default: Super (Windows Button), Squiggly (turns screen brightness down), Arrow keys (behave like the ones on the keyboard), volume controls.
- Doesn't work by default: Power, DVD, Play, Stop, Forward, Backward, previous, next, up, info, ok?
- Update coming soon. ;) Trusktr 03:07, 2 May 2011 (EDT)

#### Fingerprint Scanner

- Info Needed.
