praedor, remember, this is just the beta1 version of 9.1. There's a lot of work to do with this version yet, which is why I suspect that they only released 1 CD for folks to test. So far the only things I've found not to work are a few things in MCC, and a few things where configuring X is concerned. I can't get a larger screen resolution then 1024x768. I've been using a larger screen for so long that this screen res feels like 640x480 of old! I'm sure though that this will get straightened out in due course.
