To allow the USB devices to be read and written by a non-privileged user, create a file called /etc/udev/rules.d/51-garmin.rules with the following contents:SYSFS{idVendor}=="091e", SYSFS{idProduct}=="0003", MODE="666"
Improvements#
Things that have improved with this release:
- boots much faster
- logon screen looks much better
- less energy consumption probably, at least the fan isn't blowing all the time
- wireless driver now also supports power-saving
- googleearth now properly displays stall letters
- "better" animations for actions (network connect/disconnect changing screen brightness)
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.
Wireless driver#
This one works magnificently out of the box:
