Some quick recommendations.. Add the couple of lines of touchpad config to xorg.d that people mention here and there -- it really improved the touchpad handling on mine.
I wasn't going to bother trying to get the touchpad working. From my reading, that'll happen automatically when I get 3.14.
Oh, no, I assumed you already had it working.. It's just that there's a couple of params that fixed the min/max sensitivity for me which made it more pleasant to use. [snip]
After that my main jobs are to fix pm suspend, and go through powertop's suggestions.
I haven't tried powertop myself, but the battery life seems pretty good as standard so far. Really good, in fact. The suspend was a nice surprise, too -- ie. it "just worked" out of the box for me, and resume is near-instant (sub-second). I'm not sure why these things aren't working for you; possibly it's just that I'm on a 3.13 kernel that already had a couple of extra patches applied for Haswell support? I think the Arch Linux wiki had better-organised info for tweaks, if you're looking; but I didn't end up needing too many, which was pleasant. tjc
