That definitly was me :-)

I "solved" it by reinstalling that thinkpad - kind of. In hindsight I am quite sure that I have to blame NVIDIA for that problem - not the first time :-(

I used an image for (re)installing that notbook. Well, that the image was taken from a thinkpad with NVIDIA GPU, but that notebook had an ATI. No big deal (usually). I removed all nvidia stuff and the notebook worked. But kpowersave did not.
