My Compaq Evo has two internal speakers, the PC speaker (the one responsible for beeps, etc) and another conventional loudspeaker connected internally to the sound board. One would expect that conecting the headphones to the headphones jack will automatically shut off/disable the internal speaker but it doesn’t. You must first go to the Volume Control at System -> Preferences -> Volume Control and then click Edit->Preferences and enable the Headphone Jack Sense checkbox. I wonder why it is not enabled by default.

I’ve you tried beryl or compiz you probably had notice that the Super key (the windows key, also known as Meta key) is used a lot. By default in my Fedora Core 6 installation the Windows key is not enabled, I had to add Option "XkbOptions" "altwin:super_win" to the InputDevice section of my /etc/X11/xorg.conf to activate it.

This is how the InputDevice section look like now:

...
Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier  "Keyboard0"
        Driver      "kbd"
        Option      "XkbModel" "pc105"
        Option      "XkbLayout" "es"
        Option      "XkbOptions" "altwin:super_win"
EndSection
