Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-power-manager
At work, I have a laptop dock (for my Lenovo Thinkpad T410s) with two
external monitors connected and AC power cord connected. When I dock
the laptop, the laptop's screen turns off and only the two external
monitors are used. I would like to be able to dock my laptop and close
the lid, but that also blanks screen.
The Power Management Preferences dialog gives only the choices of "Blank
screen", "Suspend" and "Shutdown" when the laptop lid is closed. It
would be nice to have a way to say "do nothing".
Even better would be for the power manager to realize that external
screens are in use and not blank the screen in that case only, if the
lid close action is set to "blank screen".
