Bug 814912

I'm seeing this on a fresh install of fedora 17 on a dell latitude D531.

Suspend works from the user menu and the laptop promptly locks the desktop when the lid closes but won't suspend even though the settings in gsettings or gnome-tweak-tool appear correct.


If I manually suspend, opening the lid wakes it. 
If I watch acpid output it definitely sees the lid open and close. 

I'm not sure what more to try.

Getting this as well on a Dell Precision M4500

I am also seeing this on a Lenovo W510.

I have confirmed that the ACPI recognizes that the lid is closed (via /proc/acpi/button/lid/LID/state), have confirmed that KDE suspends with the lid closed, and have verified that a new user account also does not suspend when closing the lid in Gnome.

I ran gnome-settings-daemon in debug mode, and it appears the problem is that Gnome is convinced I've got an active external monitor:

(gnome-settings-daemon:4293): power-plugin-DEBUG: lid is closed; not suspending nor hibernating since some external monitor outputs are still active

This is untrue -- I have only my laptop screen.  Googling suggests the issue is related to how the nVIDIA driver reports the laptop screen (as a "default" screen) and how Gnome interprets it (despite there being only one screen and despite getting a lid closed event, Gnome 3.4 figures the monitor is an external one).  Other distributions have had the same issue.  In particular, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-desktop3/+bug/949296 may be of some assistance.

Is everyone in this bug using the nVidia module?  We have 4 different machine types here now, so this bug is getting rather useless as there is very little info except for comment #3.  Suspend/resume issues can be highly machine/driver dependent.

Yes I'm using the nvidia module provided by the rpmfusion repository. This is the output of lspci:
