Special function keys : The special function keys were not properly handled by the kernel. A bug report and a patched kernel later it worked. You have to manually define de keys though. For 3D accceleration, sax2 didn't handle that directly, you have to edit xorg.conf to activate it. Same goes for dual screen (xinerama mode)
