 I connect to the internet through ethernet.  Did my initial 'yum check-
 update' after installing os49.  While yum was fetching the indexes from
 the repositories, the XO-1.5 first dimmed, then suspended.  Had to press
 the power button to allow the fetching of repository information to
 resume.

 Next, after excessively short intervals the XO-1.5 would dim again --
 surely running 'yum check-update' is not something "unusual", for whose
 completion the user first needs to disable 'suspend'.  But what upset me
 was that to let 'yum check-update' not be suspended (after the XO-1.5 had
 dimmed), I had to press a key on the XO-1.5 keyboard -- pressing a key on
 my external USB keyboard did NOT "undim" the os49 XO-1.5.  Not paying
 attention to the external USB keyboard is a regression from "how to avoid
 suspend" on the XO-1.
