[HM] Re: screen goes dark and never comes back

[Chris Beamis]

Thanks, but I think I've tried all the keys.  I'll be sure to focus on 
the space
key next time, however.  I don't think the problem is that I've been 
impatient,
either; when it wakes up from sleep it is almost instantaneous.  The 
last
time this happened, when I was waiting on a compile, I left the machine
alone for several hours, it was running the whole time, and the screen
never came back.
