Revision history [back]

Background: I use a thinkpad X220t, and I often need to put it in tablet mode for writing. For the past year or so, every time I turn the monitor and put it in tablet mode, the screen turns off, just the screen. It depends on the angle between the monitor and keyboard, and weirdly, the threshold has increased over time. I have tried to tweak the settings of close-lid but it seems like the only options that I have change the settings for when the lid is closed normally, and not in the tablet mode (i.e. when the monitor is turned).

Question: How can I turn off the sensor completely so that fedora doesn't realise the lid is being closed?

I'm hoping to use this temporarily until I find a fix (which now I'm guessing that it could be a hardware problem).

UPDATE: I've changed the settings in /etc/systemd/logind.conf to

HandleLidSwitch=ignore
HandleLidSwitchDocked=ignore

and it didn't help.
