Comment 0 for bug 951479

When I close the lid on my laptop (HP EliteBook 5840w), laptop is not suspended. Suspend in other use-cases works ok (e.g. when invoked from system menu).

I've done some research and problem is, that gnome-settings daemon thinks that there are active external outputs - in such case suspend is skipped. Have a look at method do_lid_closed_action in gsd-power-manager.c. This method uses gnome_rr_output_is_laptop method from gnome-rr.c to find out, whether output is built-in or external. On my notebook output->name is "default" and hence output is considered to be an external one (even though there is no external output connected).
