Jumping cursor on touchpad release

I struggled with jumping cursor when releasing the finger, making it impossible to hit small objects. It was solved with synclient FingerHigh/Low: 

synclient FingerHigh=40
synclient FingerLow=40

Video

See Intel graphics.

Wireless

Intel Centrino Wireless-N 2230 (rev c4)

Works out of the box. Module: iwldvm

Sound

Works out of the box. Kernel module: snd_hda_intel

Webcam

Works out of the box (tested using cheese)

Power

Reason: The ArchWiki page "pm-utils" is archived (see Diff/499114). Hibernation should also be tested with Suspend and hibernate#Hibernation so that the broken section link can be replaced. (Discuss in Talk:Lenovo ThinkPad Edge E330)

Suspend works out of the box. Hibernate works using pm-utils (see Suspend and hibernate#Kernel[broken link: invalid section]). Uswsusp was not tested

Troubleshooting

Brightness control

Brightness can only be switched between darkest and brightest values using OS method. The fix is to make the thinkpad-acpi kernel module control it: append thinkpad-acpi.brightness_enable=1 acpi.brightness_switch_enabled=0 to the kernel line in the bootloader.

USB 2.0 not working or giving kernel traces

Not sure if this was solved by using acpi_backlight=vendor or by blacklisting these modules I do not use: 

cat /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf 
blacklist joydev
blacklist pcspkr
blacklist iTCO_vendor_support
blacklist iTCO_wdt

blacklist thinkpad_acpi # it not used by this model and gives warnings about unknown events to the logfiles when loaded.
