This is kind of a crude way to do this, but in my case I have mine doing
something that is not normally configurable.
I have rc.local enabled in systemctl, and I have these 2 lines in the file,
so that the script starts on every boot up.
/root/set-cpufreq-down-on-lid-close.sh &
disown
This is the script, it runs forever, and checks the lid state every 10
seconds and then if the state changes it turns the cpus max allowed speed
to their min speed (400mhz).
When the lid is opened it turns the cpus back up (3.1ghz)
If I ssh/vnc into the machine when the lid is closed I run highspeed
manually to bring it back up to full power (3.1ghz).
You only need to replace the lowspeed command with the command to suspend
the machine. The laptop hardware will take care of the lid open turning it
on I think so my highspeed code section won't do anything in your case.
