  Depends on the driver. Usually for finicky ones you can do an rmmod at suspend and a modprobe on resume. What distro, and are you using the default suspend mechanism?

    yes, i’m on ubuntu, using all the default drivers.

    and i would guess its finnicky because its an old laptop.

      There are a couple of ways:

      1. Formally add a system entry to run at suspend/resume (like how nvidia does in their driver package)

      Or

      2. Write a script that rmmods, suspends, sleeps, modprobes, and map it to Cntrl-Alt-Shift-S

      I usually do 2 because I like the hotkey method for desktops, and it keeps things the same for both. Also allows me to close a lid on a laptop and leave it on. But 1 is more “formal”.

      Happy to share some scripts if you’d like, on my phone now, though.

        how do i do 1? having timeout to suspend and lid close to suspend would be great. and id like to see some example scripts!

        i had pretty much given up on standby with this one.
