[SOLVED] Black screen after resuming from suspend

tttt · 2026-03-29 04:40:08

My PC has always had issues with resuming from suspend, but as of probably a few months ago it fails to resume from suspend every time. The symptom is that I get a black screen and my usual keybindings that trigger `xrandr` commands don't do anything, CTRL+ALT+F[2-6] also doesn't work, and I end up using sysrq to reboot my PC.

Here is the output of `journalctl --user --system -b-1` of a previous boot where failure to resume happened. I have an nvidia graphics card, I think I'm just using the standard nvidia drivers. I've applied some of the fixes floating around like preserving video memory. I'm using deep instead of s2idle. I use i3wm and run startx myself so I added a systemd service to redirect the Xorg logs to journald, though I'm not entirely sure that the logs are actually complete... Any help would be appreciated as I cannot figure out what's going on.

System sleeps and wakes, you log in on tty1 and then run the sysrq.

Do you also have some $5 office supply keyboard?

I have a $500 keyboard actually, but yes that was the problem (I almost mentioned it since it is a weird thing in my setup) and it seems fixed now. https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 6#p2277326 is probably a better link. It didn't work a bunch of times because I *think* the hex digits needed to be uppercase.

The digits need to match ID_USB_*_ID vrbatim.
