Here are some settings specific for any Thinkpads.
The Linux kernel comes up with a specific module that greatly eases things. Just do the following to enable it:
$ cat /etc/modules-load.d/x260.conf
# Load events for Thinkpad x260
thinkpad_acpi
Volume and brightness keys are not enabled by default. This needs to be set using ACPI events that tracks keyboard events to work on the power management of the machine. First install the following packages:
pacman -S acpid acpi_call
Then enable and start its deamon.
systemctl enable acpid
Using acpi_listen is also useful to look at the events generated. Once those events are found out, it is then necessary to register a set of actions in /etc/acpi/, with their mapping events.
The following package just needs to be installed, and this will work out of the box:
pacman -S xf86-input-libinput
Some browers prefer to have some additional fonts installed to work properly:
pacman -S ttf-dejavu \ # Normal characters for code quote
ttf-sazanami # Japanese characters
