[ltp] Screen blanking and X

[Joel Ebel]

Well, the lid switch is above the esc and access IBM buttons.  It's not 
suposed to be pressed by humans.  A more normal way to resume would be 
to press the Fn key, or the power button for a second.

Likewise, I have the same problem on my T40 running slackware 9 with 
2.4.21.  I'm not using dri, so I wouldn't think it would be related to 
the dri patch.
