EEE 1015pem & Ubuntu: fix headphones

Hi there :)

I recently acquired a nice little Asus EEE pc 1015pem, and installed Ubuntu besides Windows. The linux runs very smoothly and this netbook has an absolutely huge battery life (I would not lie if I told you it lasts for about 9 hours).

I had a few troubles however. First, I could not get the highest brightness on the screen, but this seems to be fixed magically by now.

Second problem was that headphones would not work at all. Simple fix (run as root):

echo "options snd-hda-intel model=auto" >> \
  /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf

Now reboot, and there you go :) Have fun !
