I’m trying to use my FW13AMD with Fedora Linux in docked mode, i.e. lid closed, external monitor, keyboard and mouse etc. but every time I close the lid it immediately sleeps, and I’m unable to wake it with the keyboard or mouse. I’ve seen posts about this working under windows, so am I missing something? There didn’t seem to be any relevant settings in Gnome Settings

    Is the external monitor actually on/in use? Others are suggesting disabling suspend on lid close but from my experience with Debian-based distros they usually do a pretty good job these days of distinguishing between docked-lid-closed (no suspend) and undocked-lid-closed (okay to suspend). So it sounds like it might be a Fedora-specific issue if that’s the only thing that fixes it.
