Actually, Im trying to power up the laptop with the dock.. which since it has a power button its made for that. But leaving teh lid shut and just using the two external monitors. You can do that with Windows.. I'd want to suspect that with a superior OS this should be possible too.

        This morning I had some time spent trying to get my Dell XPS 13
        9550 to output to three displays.  Using the thunderbolt/USB-C
        Dell 3100 dock, and HDMI cable/monitor and a DP to
        mini-DP/monitor.  But my question is, during this fight, I
        attempts to run the laptop with the lid shut.  Outputting to the
two external displays, powered up by power button on the dock. Long story short it did not work.. but what's weird is that I
        raised the lid ever so slightly and could tell that it was on.
        Now if the system senses the lid when it shuts to suspend.. why
        not in this case?  Could this have anything to do with the
        hybrid graphics?

    It's not clear to me what you're trying to do.  Are you trying to
    get the laptop screen to turn off when you close the lid, but keep
    the other two monitors on?  I don't think that's a supported option
    (other than manually turning it off in the control panel).

Something has changed and replies don't automatically go to the list anymore...

If you set the monitor configuration to have the two external monitors on and the laptop screen off, what happens when you push the power button on the dock? Hybrid graphics cause a lot of problems, so that could be an issue as well.
