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.
