System goes to sleep in intervals after flipping screen down.

Hello.

The following problems occur on a laptop, hence "flipping the screen down".

I've appended "i915.enable_rc6=0 i915.enable_psr=0" to my boot parameters according to the Intel Graphics wiki to fix my screen flickering problem. But now, every time I flip the screen down to put it into sleep, I find that when I flip it back up, it goes wakes up, but then goes to sleep every couple seconds/minutes regardless of if I'm actively interacting with the computer at the time or not but properly wakes up when I tap any key. It does so repeatedly until I reboot the computer. I'm not sure if it's either one of the flags or not, but I've tried booting without 'i915.enable_rc6=0', and the screen doesn't flicker, but the constant sleeping problem persists.

I don't use any greeter, so I don't expect my laptop to lock when I flip the screen down.

Please help cure my computer of narcolepsy. :(

"Open / Close Lid" - the trigger is the lidswitch.
You didn't mention what handles it for you (systemd? acpid?), but assuming systemd, see /etc/systemd/logind.conf and man logind.conf on the HoldoffTimeoutSec key.

1. Please mark your thread as [SOLVED] by editing the title of the first post
2. I'm not sure how the linked post covers STR cycles, but well..

@seth,

I was thinking maybe it was related to intel drivers, but I guess it wasn't.

I've just read the manual, and it says that it defaults to 30s, and 0s causes it to react immediately. Setting it to 0 didn't work, is there any way I can make it not react at all?

1. Does the STR cycle have an interval of about 30 seconds or more?
2. Just raise the value
3. Not react at all meaning "don't suspend on lidswitch events"? There's another value in logind.conf for this.
