Other comments

Workaround: Plug in the dock cable. The external monitor comes on and the system wakes. This is even before plugging in the external mouse and keyboard.

This has been happening for about a week, since very recent updates to the kernel.
I'm not able to test with the 6.3 kernel because I can't get to a graphical environment with that (even with nomodeset). It boots to a black screen with a blinking cursor at the upper left hand corner.
