[Bug 515465] Re: g-p-m acts when switching to console and back to x when lid is closed

The attached source checks via xrandr if an external display is connected (named VGA or DVI). It does not work with drivers that don't provide xrandr interface, e.g. the binary driver from nvidia. ** Attachment added: detect-external-display.c

[Bug 515465] Re: g-p-m acts when switching to console and back to x when lid is closed

This worked fine in Karmic, and I can perfectly reproduce this on my workstation on current lucid. I'll take a look at it. I already fixed a bug with similar symptoms back in karmic, seems this broke again in a slightly different way. ** Also affects: gnome-power-manager (Ubuntu Lucid)

[Bug 515465] Re: g-p-m acts when switching to console and back to x when lid is closed

It is not completely clear to me how to use xrandr to detect multiple displays. On the command line it looks like the following will see if an external display is connected: $ xrandr | grep connected | grep -v disconnected | egrep VGA|DVI -- g-p-m acts when switching to console and back to x

The attached patch prevents a system from going to sleep when lid is closed and it is docked. It contains a lot of debug output, just in case. ** Patch added: 19-fix-docking.patch http://launchpadlibrarian.net/40808957/19-fix-docking.patch -- g-p-m acts when switching to console and back to

[Bug 515465] Re: g-p-m acts when switching to console and back to x when lid is closed

Thanks, but the patch seems quite a hacky solution, and very specific to your hardware too (eg, I don't even have a /sys/devices/platform/dock.0/docked when my laptop is docked). A more robust check would be to see if there are any external monitors connected. -- g-p-m acts when switching to
