yes I talked to the developers and well I guess I am supposed to figure it out myself but I don't know how
so I am basically seeking help here
this is the bug report: https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/28942
I guess I should post my own pr but I have no idea how to say to udev
that the key specified as d8 is actually the lid being closed and the key specified as d7 is actually the lid being open
basically yes I am a noob and a helpful response will be just a documentation page to show me where can I begin to fix this problem
If you are using Wayland, it might be time to play with libinput quirks.
I've found the best way to set them is by first reading ones that may already cover your situation, the finding the right string to match on.
Then you'll likely have to mess with the udev rules and force the device to recognized as a lid switch.
Per the example under "Querying the hwdb," you need the ID_INPUT_SWITCH property to be set correctly.
There's an example of how to group devices in the Arch wiki for graphics tablets that may be of use if libinput will accept two different switches as one.
