 ==== Wireless ====
-Install a kernel >= 3.11.6 and make sure //CONFIG_IWLMVM// is enabled. the //iwlwifi// module should be automatically loaded and wifi just works.

 ==== Audio ====
 Mostly just works.
-There are two physical sound cards, both driven by the snd-hda-intel driver. The HDMI card is always detected first, and the analog (speakers and headphones) second. Reorder these to make the analog the default by editing ///etc/modprobe.d/alsa.conf// to contain the following

 ==== Graphics ====
-After installing and upgrading to latest i915 driver, remove //nomodeset// from the kernel boot options. This will enable screen brightness control and fix sleep/resume.
-Install bumblebee and enable the service to use optimus. Run programs using //optirun// to enable the discrete graphics card.

 Nice feature, the screen brightness can be turned all the way down to zero, which turns the screen and backlight off.
 === DPI ===
 Because of the high resolution, text will be very small by default. Change the DPI size in KDE to make all KDE applications well-behaved (konsole, plasma).

+Set the preference for certain types of audio (e.g. ''Music'') to route through the bluetooth device when present using the ''Multimedia'' applet in KDE's control centre.
 ==== Touch screen ====
 Out of the box, single touch input works but no gestures. This means you can touch to click, and drag to select. No scrolling, or pinch-to-zoom.
-Install and run touchegg to get multitouch gestures. Touchegg, touchegg-gui (configuration tool), and dependencies (utouch-{evemu,frame,grail,geis}) are in the sihnon portage overlay and community entropy repo.
