            Bug ID: 82485
          Assignee: systemd-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
           Summary: Allow handling of laptop lid switch even if multiple
                    monitors are detected
        QA Contact: systemd-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Severity: enhancement
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: All
          Reporter: benwolsieffer at gmail.com
          Hardware: All
            Status: NEW
           Version: unspecified
         Component: general
           Product: systemd

Recently, the change was made to prevent laptops using systemd from suspending
when the lid is closed if an external monitor was detected. This behavior is
useful if one wants to use a docking station.

I would like to propose that this feature should become configurable so that
users  can allow the laptop to sleep even if it is docked if they want to.

This seems fairly easy to implement; an boolean option with a name like
"LidSwitchSuspendIfDocked" could be added with the default being "no", so the
current functionality will remain for users who want it, but it would still be
possible to suspend regardless of docking state (w/o using things like acpid).
