close the lid doesn't suspend when there connect a external screen

my system cann't suspend when the lid was closed when there is a external screen connected, but it works well when
it doesn't connect.

system message:

    graphic card: GT650M with nouveau installed(actually, the official driver has the same bug).

That's the intended default behavior of systemd-logind (at least in recent versions). See HandleLidSwitch(Docked) in the logind.conf man page and change the default action (there's also a "Note" in https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Po … th_systemd).
