laptop does not suspend when closing the lid in gdm

I wanted to switch from lightdm to gdm so i disabled lightdm and enabled gdm with systemctl.
Everything seemed to work fine, however the laptop does not suspend now when closing the lid.

I tried uncommenting the line 'HandleLidSwitch=suspend' in :/etc/systemd/logind.conf'.
Closing the lid now suspends the laptop but the touchscreen doesn't work any more.

After a reboot the suspension on closing the lid does not work anymore but the touchscreen is.
Reverting the changes in logind.conf produces the same behaviour: suspension on closing lid working and touchscreen not working until reboot.

Any idea what may cause the problem?

What happens if you switch back to lightdm? Everything is back to normal?

Yes, lightdm works fine.

Hmm. I have no idea, but #gdm on irc.gnome.org would probably be able to help you out.

Does changing logind.conf while using lightdm break the touchscreen?

No, changing the logind.conf while using lightdm has no effect on the touchscreen.
