It is the same situation with v3.16-utopic. Closing the lid with ext monitor connected causes windows to move to ext monitor but does not suspend.
I have discovered another symptom that may possibly be related. With any of the kernels and with the external monitor not connected, closing the lid does nothing during the first four minutes after booting. After that time it suspends ok (ext monitor not connected). If closed during first four minutes then nothing happens, but if left closed it does suspend after that time has elapsed. Since discovering this I have gone back and checked the other kernels again and waited till it will suspend with no ext monitor and re-confirmed that it does not suspend with the ext monitor connected. As a matter of interest are others seeing suspend ok with external monitor? ** Changed in: xorg (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1415958 Title: Laptop + external display does not suspend on lid close To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1415958/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
