    Soon want to try to get it running.

    Perhaps somebody got it working already and has some tips.
    Or should it run without any problems?

    I got it to work there with just some changes.
    you will need a newer libc6 than wheezy offers, a local install of that will do just fine as you only need the runtime libs.

    depending on the GPU your using you might need a newer driver.
    e.g. in my case using the Intel HD 4000 IGPU, I fixed a few graphical errors (it was running just with some glitches) by using a local install of a newer mesa (from the git repos, (Edit:)9.2.0-devel, needed a newer kernel for that ;) )
    but that might not be necessary of you use some other GPU

    Edit:
    with debian testing (jessie) the libc and kernel requirements are already fulfilled
