What issues? If it's backlight related, try my patch at:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2011/2/16/447

Or if the screen is black after suspend/screen blank then just try a
newer kernel, that got recently fixed. Actually, a lot of bugs were
recently introduced and fixed, with two months ago you're probably
in the new-bugs-only period, so I can recommend trying 2.6.38-rc5.

This screen corruption is the only problem for me, but I don't do anything
fancy with my laptop. The ipw2200 wireless driver is quite crappy, but it
has always been as far as I know. (Though not too long ago the USB got
burnt out, which probably took one RAM module with it, so now I'm running
with 512MB instead of 1GB, which is really noticeable when doing kernel
git stuff or compiles with this very very slow HD.)

Good luck,

Indan

P.S. Anyone any idea where that "Mail-Followup-To" header comes from?
Or is everyone subscribed to dri-devel automatically excluded from
Mail-Followup-To? If that's the case, pardon for the dubplicate mails.
