RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.
Description of problem:
On a Lenovo X1 Carbon 3rd gen, the touchpad is not disabled while the lid is closed. If you connect an external monitor and close the lid, the mouse cursor is uncontrollably moving.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
RHEL 7.5
xorg-x11-drv-libinput-0.25.0-2.el7.x86_64
libinput-1.8.4-2.el7.x86_64
How reproducible:
always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. connect a display to the aX1 Carbon 3rd gen
2. close the lid
Actual results:
mouse cursor moves uncontrollably
Expected results:
The mouse cursor should not move
Additional info:
I'm punting this to systemd for now because the source of the issue is that the lid switch isn't labelled as ID_INPUT_SWITCH. that's systemd upstream commit 64083a6078630372623bb1013a45d3bf31d8a836 but I'll let the systemd guys decide whether they want to add this to 7.6. If not, please punt it back to libinput and I'll work out some libinput-specific solution for RHEL only.

I think we should be able to deliver the fix in RHEL-7.6. Btw, thank you very much for submitting the upstream patch.
