Booting with nomodeset into runlevel 3, the state of i915 is as follows:

# lsmod|grep i915
i915                 1040384  0 
i2c_algo_bit           16384  1 i915
drm_kms_helper        114688  1 i915
drm                   319488  2 i915,drm_kms_helper
button                 16384  1 i915
video                  20480  1 i915
#

I guess the "0" at the end of the line for i915 is what you mean by inactive?

I ssh into the machine to watch the log, and when the lid is closed, I see the
following messages (or variations thereof):

Jul 02 18:57:17 linux-yu7r.site systemd-logind[789]: Lid closed.
Jul 02 18:57:20 linux-yu7r.site systemd-logind[789]: Powering Off...
Jul 02 18:57:20 linux-yu7r.site systemd-logind[789]: System is powering down.
Connection to deller closed by remote host.
Connection to deller closed.

The system actually powers down correctly, according to my logind.conf
settings. I've tested it several times, it's repeatable.

In this case, the i915 module is active, I think:

# lsmod|grep i915
i915                 1040384  1 
i2c_algo_bit           16384  1 i915
drm_kms_helper        114688  1 i915
drm                   319488  3 i915,drm_kms_helper
button                 16384  1 i915
video                  20480  1 i915
#

When I close the lid, the machine crashes immediately, and the ssh connection
dies. This is repeatable.

>From the same starting point, if instead of closing the lid I press the special
"suspend" key, which I have also configured to poweroff in logind.conf, the
machine shuts down normally:
