[ltp] USB keyboard with T30 - screen blanks after 1 hour?

[Greg Macek]

I just recently starting an external keyboard (Apple USB keyboard - we
had extras in the office) with my T30 and like it except for the fact
that if I don't press a key on the notebook the screen will blank on me.
The same happens if, by some odd chance, I only use the USB mouse for an
hour or if I come back from a meeting I have to press a key or move the
trackpoint to bring the screen back. The USB mouse doesn't seem to wake
up anything in X or the BIOS (but I'm not sure what's actually
controlling the screen blanking.) Does anybody have any ideas as to how
I can work around this? I'm using SuSE Pro 8.2 on a T30 2366-41U.
Thanks.
