I have fedora core 5 test 2 running beautifully on my dv1000.  Of 
course, this isn't without some painful configs at the beginning (thanks 
to all the peeps on the board who helped). 
As far as the resolution is concerned: 
http://gentoo-wiki.com/HP_Pavilion_dv1067 --while this is for gentoo, 
the instructions to set up your resolution works!

Wireless: this was definitely a pain in the butt.  But there are step by 
step instructions within the archives--they work absolutely perfectly 
(so surprisingly easy for linux that I have a tear in my eye for how far 
linux has gone since 10 years ago).  But don't expect the light to turn on.

Mouse: dunno.  My worked as soon as I installed it.  You sure the 
touchpad was enabled when you installed?  I have no other clue of why it 
wouldn't work.

USB: works fine from install

wired network: works fine from install.

sd/mmc card reader: nothing yet made for this.  I found a site with ppl 
working on it, but I don't expect to get this to work anytime soon--and 
frankly don't much care.  Just use a fat partition (if trying to have 
common media for a possible windoze install on the laptop) or use a USB 
memory card when you get your USB up.

Anyway, I'm just another guy who has the hp dv1000 and I wanted to 
verify that YES--fc5t2 works fine on the computer.  Try a reinstall or 
something and post back what happened.
