Garbled gnome-shell after hibernation resume with nvidia GPU

Hello,

Using the proprietary driver 346.35-4 on GF106 [GeForce GTS 450] on a desktop (64 bits). After fiddling with the hibernation and mkinicpio hooks, it does work now, but when resuming from hibernation the whole display is garbled/tiled.

Restarting gnome-shell (Alt+F2 & r) does seem to clean that mess up, but i'm looking for a cleaner way to achieve this.

Any hints ?

Btw i'm hibernating using systemctl hibernate, and the kernel boot parameter resume=/dev/sda2 has been added; i'm using the systemd initcpio hook instead of resume (but both behave the same in regards to this issue).

Have you found a solution?  I'm having this exact problem with the Nvidia proprietary driver on GF750ti w/gnome shell (64 bits).

Well, my solution was to remove my nvidia card and use the Intel open source driver (not joking here !).

If you really love your nvidia board, i can only think of
- Alt+F2 - r when you come back from hibernation
- integrate with the systemd /etc/systemd/system/resume@.service unit to run "killall -3 gnome-shell" which would automate this restarting of gnome-shell

Nvidia GTX 560ti here, I've been having display issues like this for a long time. It's been a while since I've seen the multi-colored fuss, usually it gives me a black screen with only the pointer. My solution is turn compositing off and on again; that fixes it every time. I use KDE though, and it has a keyboard shortcut for toggling compositing (Alt+Shift+F12). I don't know if Gnome provides a method for this.
