In particular, he shows you the relevant thing he changed. You can see that you login.conf has this line, commented out. Take a copy of your login.conf like Bob did, then modify the original. The commented out version is _conventionally_ the default value. Uncomment it and make it like Bob's.

Let me toss in a related question then.. would disabling either of the graphics adapters help matters possibly? I am about to begin looking into that also.. But to answer your question, I don't know. I guess I was afraid of it not registering when off the dock and then for some reason not sending display to the laptop screen. But I will definitely try that at the end of the day. ___ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org

Are you trying to get the laptop screen to turn off when you close the lid, but keep the other two monitors on? I don't think that's a supported option (other than manually turning it off in the control panel). Something has changed and replies don't automatically go to the list anymore... If you set the monitor configuration to have the two external monitors on and the laptop screen off, what happens when you push the power button on the dock? Hybrid graphics cause a lot of problems, so that could be an issue as well. ___ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org
Re: Running a laptop with lid shut
I run KDE, not Gnome, so I don't know how much this translates, but in KDE you can go to System Settings -> Power Management -> When laptop lid is closed and choose "do nothing." You have to set it for all power status categories (AC, Battery, Low Battery). Works for me. I used to know how to tweak this by modifying a file, but that was a few years ago, and I'm sure it's changed. I've gotten lazy and just use the GUI for it, now. billo On Mon, 2017-04-17 at 09:36 -0600, InvalidPath wrote: > This morning I had some time spent trying to get my Dell XPS 13 9550 > to output to three displays.

Running a laptop with lid shut
This morning I had some time spent trying to get my Dell XPS 13 9550 to output to three displays. Using the thunderbolt/USB-C Dell 3100 dock, and HDMI cable/monitor and a DP to mini-DP/monitor. But my question is, during this fight, I attempts to run the laptop with the lid shut. Outputting to the two external displays, powered up by power button on the dock. Long story short it did not work.. but what's weird is that I raised the lid ever so slightly and could tell that it was on. Now if the system senses the lid when it shuts to suspend.. why not in this case? Could this have anything to do with the hybrid graphics?
