Problem 1:
Backlight brightness regulation doesn't work as good as in Ubuntu 14.
Fn+F12/F11 is supposed to regulate monitor brightness. I'm not sure if it works properly on Ubuntu there was like 4 brightness modes in Archlinux each key click changes brightness by very small amount (it is not noticable) +-1 (I'm checking in /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/actual_brightness

Problem 2
I don't know which keyboard model select for Xorg

Problem 3
There is a some sort of problem with bluetooth device:

 dmesg | grep Blue 

yields:
