[ltp] T61 Suspends, won't restore

[John Jason Jordan]

I have had my T61 for about a year and a half, always running Ubuntu x86_64. In
all that time it will suspend when I close the lid, but when I open the lid it
is stuck in suspend mode. The hard drive light runs a bit when I open the lid,
but the keyboard and mouse are dead.

Recently I installed a new hard disk and then installed Fedora 11. Unhappily, I
get the same results. 

I have lived with this limiation long enough. I know this has been discussed
here in the past, but I can't find the threads and solutions (if any). Can some
kind soul point me in the right direction?
