[ltp] does not wake up after sleep

I am writing again for the sake of completeness, because I was able to 
solve the problem (probably wasn't really a problem to begin with, if I 
were more experienced...  sorry folks).

Further to my previous posting, I received some messages that were sent to 
me directly.  They suggested that I hit Fn+ctrl3 or Fn+ctrl7.

When my T30 goes to sleep on its own, I cannot make it wake up by these 
two methods nor by hitting just the Fn key.  It seems to try though...  
However, I notice that when I put it to sleep by hitting Fn+ctrl4, then I 
can make it wake up by hitting Fn+ctrl3 or just Fn.

So when my T30 goes to sleep on its own, I put it to sleep "again" by 
hitting Fn+ctrl4.  And then I can wake it up by Fn+ctrl3 or Fn.

Thanks again for all the help,
-Katsumi
