Waking a notebook whilst closed with hw.acpi.lid_switch_state: NONE

[Cath O'Deray]

HP 2012 120W Advanced Docking Station with DisplayPort x2, each connected to a Philips 271P4QPJKEB/00.

HP EliteBook 8570p | <https://bsd-hardware.info/?computer=6fbb1f806232>

% sysctl hw.acpi.lid_switch_state
hw.acpi.lid_switch_state: NONE

I dock the notebook then, without opening the case, I press the power button on the docking station.

The computer wakes, then sleeps.

What might cause the unwanted sleep?

I see nothing relevant in BIOS.

The man page is a little light on the details but you may need acpi_dock(4). There's also a acpi_hp(4) but I'm not sure if it applies to this laptop.

Thanks.

I can load both modules.

cat /dev/hpcmi does not work, which does not bother me (for an experimental driver).

I'll test probably next week.

… you may need acpi_dock(4). …

No improvement, unfortunately.

I can't see anything in System Settings (KDE Plasma) that might cause the sleep:
