gsd-power inhibiting lid close

Hi,

My laptop (ThinkPad P1) is not suspending on lid close. Upon checking, it appears that gsd-power thinks I am connected to multiple displays. The output of xrandr is

Screen 0: minimum 8 x 8, current 3840 x 2160, maximum 32767 x 32767
DP-0 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
DP-1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
HDMI-0 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
DP-2 connected primary 3840x2160+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 344mm x 193mm
   3840x2160     60.00*+

These are the output of $ systemd-inhibit

The laptop notices the lid movement. Setting systemd.log_level=debug in the kernel and doing

$ sudo journalctl --unit=systemd-logind --follow

gives:

Feb 23 09:49:38 phycent-p1 systemd-logind[513]: Lid closed.
Feb 23 09:49:38 phycent-p1 systemd-logind[513]: Refusing operation, handle-lid-switch is inhibited.
..... the above line repeats until the lid is re-opened ...
Feb 23 09:49:48 phycent-p1 systemd-logind[513]: Lid opened.

The laptop can suspend by ignoring inhibitors. But options in /etc/systemd/logind.conf do not disrespect the "block-ing" inhibitors. Options tried includes (although these are the default values):

HandleLidSwitch=suspend
LidSwitchIgnoreInhibited=yes

Can someone propose how to fix it? I am not connected to multiple displays. I simply want my gnome to lock and suspend on lid-close.

Re: gsd-power inhibiting lid close

I have found a work around. This problem does not exist when using optimus with bumblebeed.
