General Hardware issues aspire 1825PTZ

Hello, I am a newbie but i thought that posting in the hardware issues was more appropriate because I need to set up all the hardware of my netbook correctly.
So here they are:

- GRAPHIC DRIVERS I have installed the latest intel drivers for my chipset but i don't know if i have loaded vesa or proprietary drivers, maybe i should confire xorg.conf, wiki is not really clear to me about this... installed new drivers they automatically set up eliminating the conflicts

- TOUCHPAD: I have installed synaptics drivers, installed gpoining-device-settings, and run and configured with it (even if when i start it it says an X error occurred. The error was BadAtom (invalid atom parameter) working

- SATA AHCI in bios it is enebled, so did /arch/setup installed them automatically? followed wiki pretty fast and simple.

- AUDIO: my netbook has a simple dolby as output, writing dolby in the wiki doesn't give me anything, is there something I should know? got alsa, but looking to the pro audio wiki page

- WIFI: I have managed it to get it working, but I want it to auto connect at boot. adding wlan0="dhcp" and INTERFACES=(wlan0) enables the wifi card at boot, but I don't know why setting DAEMONS=(...net-profiles) and NETWORKS=(wireless-wpa)doesn't let the card connect, help? Working ,boot to , commented wlan="dhcp", modified net-profiles daemon in background

-BLUETOOTH: Not configured yet so i won't ask anything untill I'll configure it. working followed wiki

-CARD READER: I was just thinking: do I need to just add HAL as daemon? I didn't find any particular guide for card readers. Working, just added HAL

-G-SENSOR: The accelerometer, I really have no clue, i have not found anything in the wiki. Clarifications?

-WEBCAM: not yet configured like bluetooth, i will follow the wiki and if i get problems I will update.

-WiMAX: I don't really need them but I am curious... Clarifications?

I hope you will help me thanks

Ps: Sorry for wall of text, I tried to make it as clear as i could.^^
