How to use the laptop with lid closed (Linux) (alien.top)

I’m trying to use my FW13AMD with Fedora Linux in docked mode, i.e. lid closed, external monitor, keyboard and mouse etc. but every time I close the lid it immediately sleeps, and I’m unable to wake it with the keyboard or mouse. I’ve seen posts about this working under windows, so am I missing something? There didn’t seem to be any relevant settings in Gnome Settings

Is the external monitor actually on/in use? Others are suggesting disabling suspend on lid close but from my experience with Debian-based distros they usually do a pretty good job these days of distinguishing between docked-lid-closed (no suspend) and undocked-lid-closed (okay to suspend). So it sounds like it might be a Fedora-specific issue if that's the only thing that fixes it.
