Hi Urs,

I also ran a test on my laptop using the LiveCD x86_64.

I expect to get more results from others.

Yes, this must be the kernel / firmware issue.  On my laptop, wireless
failed as well.  It apparently identified the hardware (4965) and
loaded the right driver (iwlagn).  This laptop currently runs SL-5 and
the wireless works fine with the iwl4965 module.

Thanks, this is worth a try.  I myself did not have an issue with the
resolution (not nvidia).

Yes, I saw the same clock issue.  It seems to have reset the hardware
clock of my laptop.

Thanks for all the hard work!
