[ltp] USB Mouse broke after sleep A21m

[Tod Harter]

Yeah, with my A20p it seems that the Fn-F4, apm -S, and closing the lid do 
force a good suspend, though thinking about it I also have 20 min set in 
KDE's power control settings, so maybe its just that kicking in. I have 
noticed that resuming is not 100% reliable. Sometimes the Fn key will cause a 
resume, sometimes you have to use Fn-F4, sometimes just opening the top does 
it, and once in a while you have to hit the power button to get it to notice 
that it should wake up. A few times I have had it just plain refuse to wake 
up at all. Not a giant problem as it is about 95% reliable (and I haven't 
experienced windoz being any better in this regard).

I have to agree, hibernate is fairly useless for me and I have never bothered 
with it. This machine will go 3 days in suspend on battery. If I wanted to 
leave it longer than that I'd just shut it down.
