Bluetooth
Install the package bluez, start and/or enable bluetooth
systemd service and use your preferred front-end to manage connections. See Bluetooth for more information.
Fingerprint
You should find a fingerprint sensor with
$ lsusb | grep AuthenTec Bus 001 Device 005: ID 08ff:2810 AuthenTec, Inc. AES2810
You'll need the fprintd package. See fprint for more information.
Synaptics Touchpad
Install the package xf86-input-synaptics for enabling the 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-dkms, or its non-DKMS version broadcom-wlAUR.
Troubleshooting
Issue with XKeyboardConfig
While starting the graphic interface, you might come across with the bug #77504 reported in freedesktop bugzilla. 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.
Disable PC Speaker
To disable it, ensure the module pcspkr
is not loaded during bootup:
/etc/modprobe.d/nobeep.conf
#Do not load the 'pcspkr' module on boot. blacklist pcspkr
