Resume from suspend - Background & Lock Screen image corruption

I have a Dell Vostro 3700.
The OS is Arch 64 bit. I am using Nvidia-340xx and kernel 3.17.4-1.

When I resume from suspend my lock screen and wallpaper images look like static on a TV.

If the img tag doesnt post the image...here is my imgur link to what it looks like. http://imgur.com/xnftjFC

Thank you.

Re: Resume from suspend - Background & Lock Screen image corruption

Would reloading the wallpaper solve your problem? For example, with feh. If yes, maybe you could reload it automatically every time you exit from suspend.
As a second tentative of troubleshooting, what if you suspend with

i3lock && systemctl suspend

? Doesn't have to be i3lock, you can use any other you'd like. Does the wallpaper stay OK if you try this approach?

Reloading the wallpaper actually does do the trick. The feh method will most likely work.

i3lock && systemctl suspend

The i3lock produces the same results. Interesting lock screen btw.

I didn't have this problem until the upgrade when I had to use 'nvidia-340xx' instead off 'nvidia' for my drivers. Obviously that was quite a while ago and since then I have re-installed arch from scratch a few times and each time, it was the same issue.
