[ltp] How to wake-up T30

[Lewis Adam-CAL022]

Yeah, this appears to be my work around.  I also have my display set to
1400x1050 (and it looks beautiful!) ... I am not going to lower my
resolution, so waking it up, switching to a virtual console, putting it to
sleep and then waking it up again and switching back to X ... well, okay!
It works :-)
