I have a Thinkpad T480s running bookworm. When I'm using a text console and I close the lid, the system suspends. So far so good.
But when I'm using XFCE, if I close the lid, then when I reopen the lid the screen is unchanged except there's no mouse pointer. The system does not suspend, does not screenlock, and also has no pointer and no way I can figure out to connect the keyboard to the windowing system.
Alt-tab does nothing. I can use fn-ctl-alt-f1 to switch to a text console. I use the xkdb option "shift:both_capslock", and when I hit both shift keys, the capslock LED does toggle. I usually in this situation switch to a text console and kill lightdm, destroying my session. After that systemd respawns lightdm and I can log in and things are normal.
/etc/systemd/logind.conf is stock - all comments, no login.conf.d exists.
Any help appreciated...
