[ltp] How to wake-up T30

[George Yanos]

My t-30 had a similar problem.  It seems, however, that not all of
them do.  The key, I thinhk, is the display.  I have a 1400x1050
display and it seems to have a problem.  If I let it shut itself off
(the display, that is) by timing out on the idle timer, then I can not
get it to come back on.

It is true that two presses of Fn-f4, to put it sleep really then wake
it up again, restores it to functioning.

I don't like it, but it does get the machine back.
