With proprietary graphics drivers, there won't be any 'drm' devices in
sysfs, so logind will never suspend the system upon closing the lid,
even if only one (internal) display is connected. This has been reported
by multiple users so far.
IMHO, it's better to suspend the system in this case for safety reasons,
to avoid having nvidia blob users' laptops overheat, for the same reason
that sleep inhibitors are overridden (LidSwitchIgnoreInhibited=yes).
udev_device_get_parent() may return NULL when the device doesn't have a
parent, as is the case with (for example) /sys/devices/virtual/drm/ttm.
Also, log an actual error message instead of "-12 displays connected".
- Consistent use of $VAR vs ${VAR}
- Consistent use of && vs 'if'
- Add error checking to some places
- Consistent error messages ("Can't" vs "Cannot", etc.)
- Function declarations at the top
- Miscellaneous adjustments
The columnar output can become pretty horrible. When GNOME inhibits
power/suspend/hibernate keys, the "WHAT" column's text extends to "WHO"
and even "WHY". At the same time, all texts in "WHY" are of the form

This patch splits each inhibit entry into four lines, allowing the full
text to fit in a normal-width terminal.
Use cases:
* iptables.service – atomically reload rules without having to flush
them beforehand (which may leave the system insecure if reload fails)
* rpc-nfsd.service – reexport filesystems after /etc/exports update
without completely stopping and restarting nfsd
(In both cases, the actual service is provided by a kernel module and
does not have any associated user-space processes, thus Type=oneshot.)
The failing check caused autogen.sh to die mysteriously due to `set -e`
and the unquoted `test -z $VAR`.
Also, some syntax fixes to make it work with /bin/sh, which most other
autogen.sh's use.
[zj: implemented simplification suggested by Peters Simon
and fixed the case where gtkdocize was available but is not anymore.]
