| Touch screen | | Probably requires evdev. |
| Media keys | Brightness keys | | Load acpi_video(4) to make the function keys work. The function keys do not work after suspend. |
| Volume keys | | Requires some tweaking when using x11-wm/dwm but should work when using a more advanced window environment like Xfce (at least the volume-up and the volume-down keys) | |
| Network | Wi-Fi | ✔ | |
| Other | Battery | ✘ | Battery is not detected. See the bug report |

See DualBoot.
See X.
The power button on the right side of the machine is too easy to hit by accident. It can be disabled with:
sysctl hw.acpi.power_button_state=NONE
It can be done automatically. See man 5 sysctl.conf.
Headphones do not work out of the box. In order to use them it is necessary to add the following to /boot/device.hints:
hint.hdaa.1.nid22.config="as=1 seq=15"
Now they should just work.
man 4 snd_hdaThe volume keys are not working out-of-the-box with x11-wm/dwm.
| Physical key | keycode | keysym |
| F1 | 140 | no symbol |
| F2 | 174 | XF86AudioLowerVolume |
| F3 | 176 | XF86AudioRaiseVolume |
In order to bind the volume-up and the volume-down keys it is necessary to include the X11/XF86keysym.h header into dwm's config.h (using XF86XK_AudioRaiseVolume and XF86XK_AudioLowerVolume, respectively)
It is not so straightforward to bind the mute key, however. x11/xev reports that the mute key has no keysym although the keycode value of 140 suggests that it might be SunFront. The solution is to:
xmodmap -e "keycode 140 = XF86AudioMute"
XF86XK_AudioMute to an action of your choice in dwm's config.h.
