[ltp] X11 is slugish

Incidentally, in my early tp600e days, I had real problems getting
the display back through lid closing/opening and suspend/resume.
One of the bits of the solution, which I've not seen mentioned
elsewhere, was use of Fn+F8: this toggles between stretched and
unstretched use of the LCD when in video modes which don't match
the precise LCD pixel size.  Try it in a text mode and you'll see
what I mean.  I found that out-of-the-box, the X display wouldn't
come back properly after a suspend/resume, unless I'd used Fn+F8
previously.

Fn+F8 is almost undocumented: I found it by running "strings" on
PS2.EXE.
