== Base installation ==
Follow the Arch Linux official [http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Beginners_Guide Beginners Guide].

== Wireless LAN ==
As in http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Wireless_Setup, install ''wireless-tools'', check for hardware and install appropriate driver package ''ipw2200-fw''.
 
I installed Network Manager too. Check http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NetworkManager

== Cpu Frequency scaling ==
Follow official Arch page: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Cpufrequtils

== Suspension/Hibernation ==

Follow the guide http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pm-utils just till ''Advanced configuration''; then install ''laptop-mode-tools'' (this will fix all brightness problems too).

== Touchpad ==
Follow the guide http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Touchpad_Synaptics

== Multimedia and codecs ==

*Flash plugin: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Flash_and_Adobe_Acrobat_browser_plugins

*Codecs: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Common_codecs

== Compiz-fusion ==

Compiz-Fusion: NON FUNZIONA
- Impostazione di AIGLX come da pagina http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AIGLX
- Installazione di compiz-fusion-gtk come da pagina: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Compiz_Fusion
- Modificato xorg.conf inserendo nella sezione "Device":
	Option	    "AGPMode" "4"
	Option	    "ColorTiling" "on"
-->

== Thinkpad keys and OSD ==

If you want to use the OSD capabilities:

*Install the ''tpb'' package
<code><pre>
sudo pacman -S tpb
</pre></code>
*Follow the guide http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Tpb

To handle all thinkpad keys:

*Add ibm_acpi in the MODULES list in your /etc/rc.conf
*Now you can configure the keys in /etc/acpi/handler.sh 

This is my /etc/acpi/handler.sh (it handles wifi/bluetooth switch [Alt-F5] and Turn off monitor [Alt-F3] keys):
<code><pre>
#!/bin/sh
# Default acpi script that takes an entry for all actions

# NOTE: This is a 2.6-centric script.  If you use 2.4.x, you'll have to
#       modify it to not use /sys
