This looks a *lot* like how an XO acts when Suspend is on. See if the
power LED has gone off and just blinks occasionally -- that's how you really
tell whether you are in suspend. Power LED on steadily = no suspend.
Power LED off most of the time, blinking on = you're suspended.
You have to look BEFORE you start typing. The first key you hit will
wake it up again, but it takes the kernel about a second of powered-on
time before it becomes responsive again. (We hope to reduce that
significantly, but it's hard work.)
