# Configuration

This is based on the 2012 HP Envy 17.

## Video

Works by following [http://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/1nu4pc/muxless_graphics_cards_on_linux/](http://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/1nu4pc/muxless_graphics_cards_on_linux/). I strongly recommend switching to linux-mainline ([AUR](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/linux-mainline/)) to take advantage of power-management built into 3.12.

## Audio

`hdajackretask` in the package `extra/alsa-tools` can be used to remap the unconnected 0x10 pin to the subwoofer (Internal Speaker LFE).

## SD Card Reader

**As of 3.8 a third party module is not needed, device is accessible @ /dev/mmcX**

The module **for pre 3.8** `rts5229` is in the [AUR](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/rts5229/).
