That is how I use it. My desktop user is a member of the operator and
wheel groups, and I make the changes shown. I do not have hal running
or even installed. This is on both a desktop and notebook. Several
notebooks, actually.
If more details are needed, I can check my notebook for them. From
memory, nothing else was needed. But generally these systems are
upgraded from earlier versions and there might be other settings that
were changed long ago.
