[gentoo-user] elogind problem

[Bill Kenworthy]

Hi,

    I have just replaced console-kit with elogind and while its fixed my
X server problems, its brought some downsides as well.  Primarily, I
used to use acpi to hibernate but elogind has coopted the power button
so acpid doesnt get the signal, and added a suspend to lid closure but
then I cant run scripts to recover the touch screen etc.
(MSsurfacePro4).  I could deal with that except the docs for
systemd-logind (the elogind docs refer there) say they have removed the
possibility run arbitrary scripts from logind (and so I assume also
elogind). 

So how can I recover the hardware to a working state using elogind? 
Worst case would seem to be disable elogind hibernate/suspend in its
config file and handle it old school but is there a better way using
elogind?
