DiplayLink (wiki)

If your computer is using a DisplayLink docking station make sure to install the displaylink driver from the AUR and systemctl enable displaylink.service.

Configure Xorg with the following section to use it with xrandr by creating the following file /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-evdidevice.conf.

Section "OutputClass"
	Identifier "DisplayLink"
	MatchDriver "evdi"
	Driver "modesetting"
	Option  "AccelMethod" "none"
EndSection

Mouse Configuration

If you are using different mouse and want to apply specific configuration for each one of them, you can do that through x.org configuration. In /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ create a new file 50-<device>.conf with the following content:

Section "InputClass"
    Identifier    "<device> Acceleration"
    MatchProduct "<device>"
    MatchDriver  "libinput"
    Option       "AccelSpeed" "0.1"
EndSection

The name of your specific product can be found using xinput list and the different configuration field available with xinput list-props <deviceid>.

BIOS Drivers

Don't forget to check if any new BIOS version of the T470s BIOS are available on the Lenovo website. Download the .iso on the Lenovo website and use the geteltorito tool to extract the .img content from the iso to flash it to a USB Drive. Boot from the USB drive from the bios and start the BIOS upgrade process.
