on my X31 without ACPI, the special keys seem to work without freezing the 
laptop, but i have about 1 minute or less after booting before total freeze, 
again without any error message, and without chance to invoke the 
debugger.... i've tried to enable all of the possible ACPI debug messages, 
but they fill up the screen very fast....
 i'm now trying to disable different ACPI components, to see what will 
happen...
