X60s with dual-core L2300@1.50GHz here. Where do you get -686 for Edgy 
from, apart from building it? As far as Edgy packages, -686 is 
"obsoleted" by -generic, which is now SMP (this wasn't the case in 
Dapper though). Yes, resume from sleep (softw. suspend) is still flaky, 
i.e. it fails approx. every third attempt. And when it resumes OK, 
ipw3945 has to be re-modprobed for WiFi to work again...

Haven't experienced this, nor any other freezes. Don't use for much more 
than e-mail/browsing though.

So far it happily reconnects again. Probably depends on WiFi network 
being used.

Might have something to do with /var/games/falconseye/perm owned by 
root:games. Is the user a member of games group?
