HP 6830s #
My latest laptop requires some extra tweaks :
Sound#
Add the following line to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf:
options snd-hda-intel model=laptop enable=1 index=0
Video driver#
Install the native ATI/AMD video driver if you want 3D effects. If you don't need that, the default driver is fine too.
