The Problem: I cannot suspend and exit i3 with ctl-alt Fn(1-6) without loss of tty. I get merely a black screen, and monitor with orange light (ie not green).
I can get back to i3 with ctl-alt+Fn1
I can enter tty1-6 at boot,and then go onto startx - no problems there
This problem appeared after I installed the NVIDIA-340xx graphics module.
I greatly appreciate your useful advice.
Observations:
-----------------------
Running 4.20.0-arch1-1-ARCH, X11, i3-wm:
Hardware: Mac Pro 4.1
Power suspend works fine - the system sleeps and then starts back up in i3.
When I freshly installled Arch in December 2018 , I was able to get from X11/i3 to tty; That is, until I installed the nvidia-340xx driver. I'm not sure of what was initially and automatically configured as a graphics driver.

06:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation G96 [GeForce 9500 GT] (rev a1)I've followed to no avail, the following advice in the Archwiki's 'NVIDIA troubleshooting'
I have re-installed nvidia, nvidia-utils-340xx, Xorg-server, in that order; Added "xrandr --auto" to xinitrc; executed $modprobe nvidia; Also,
Added to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
install i915 /usr/bin/false
install intel_agp /usr/bin/false I tried adding to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-nvidia.conf;

I'm going to bumpt this post because it was posted at new year, and I couldn't really expect a reply at that time!

OK now. I ditched the nvidia module and opted for nouveau in its place because after checking my tty configs, I narrowed the problem down to the graphics driver.
I had to make sure I removed the /etc/Xorg.conf file that I had generated in orrder to run the nvidia module.
Now I can get to tty from X11, and that's a boon of course.
BTW. I've found the nouveau module works fine with this set up, but launching qutebrowser failed with graphics driver problems in rendering QT; to solve that I adjusted the user config.py as follows to 'qt-quick' instead of 'chromium' I.E.,
c.qt.force_software_rendering = 'qt-quick' I can't say the problem is solved, but it is better specified, and worked around.
