[SOLVED] xfce+slim, suspend to RAM causes black and white strips

https://bbs.archlinux.org – It works!! alright it was a video driver problem, and for some reason I think there is a problem with the nouveau driver and the kernel. I read this thread, and I don't think the problem is fixed yet. I reloaded the nvidia-304xx driver and suspend and hibernate work fine. The problem I had in loading the nvidia driver before probably happened because I forgot to re--generate the initial ramdisk image after removing "nouveau" from the modules array in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf (the Nouveau wiki talks about this).

Really appreciate the help guys. Removing the nouveau driver and re configuring the nvidia driver fixed the issue. I'm marking it as solved.

I solved this one but decided to post the solution if anyone else has the same problem.In the end I replaced the nouveau driver with the old nv driver and solved the problem.nouveau version 1.0.4-1slim version 1.3.4-4I played for hours with different fonts, sizes, dpi settings to no avail.The nouveau driver (or slim) has a problem displaying fonts.

LOL PS: I was switch to Nouveau driver and anything... worked fine. But i like nVidia driver. Hope the new will fix this bugs.

Well, I switched back to the nouveau driver, and it spikes the cpu as normal user and as sudo now, I am running 64bit arch if it makes a difference

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Fo … n_RequestsThat said, AMD provides better documentation for open-source developers so that driver (xf86-video-ati) gets developed easier, and nVidia does very little to help their open-source driver equivalent (xf86-video-nouveau).  nVidia is regarded to have a better closed-source driver however.And like the etiquette says: 1 year from now people sear

My first suggestion is to backup your xorg.conf and use nvidia-xconfig to generate a new one, unless that is what you have done.The other probable issue may be that the nvidia driver cannot work on EFI/UEFI booting.  So if you use grub-efi, you may want to work your way over to grub-bios.  Otherwise, you will have to use the nouveau driver.  I do not have enough information on your

I followed those instructions setting up my new laptop with Nvidia Optimus and never ran into an issue with anything ever wanting a nouveau driver. At any point in your installation do you install nouvea? You never need to do that as far as I know. Sorry I can't be more helpful.

Hello,I was using nouveau with xf86-video-nouveau for some time on my Laptop with GeForce 6150 and AMD Dualcore CPU.Now I wanted to switch back to nvidia or nvidia-ck-kx to be preciese since I'm using the CK Kernel. I have used the CKKernel with nvidia-ck driver before.So I installed nvidia-ck-kx and nvidia-utils to replace libgl with it.
