[ltp] How to wake-up T30

[Lewis Adam-CAL022]

Hi Atul,

1) how do I suspend the machine?

2) it is always plugged in when this happens.

I tried the Fn-F3 but nothing happens (short of turning off the backlight,
and the Fn by itself brings it back, but with no desktop, just the
backlight).

Any other ideas?  Anything in the kernel perhaps?

Thnks!
Adam
