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?

  There are a couple of ways:
  
  Formally add a system entry to run at suspend/resume (like how nvidia does in their driver package)
  
  Or
  
  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.

    Will grab some when I back, but assuming you are using systemd, it’s easy if you follow this old but good method: blog.christophersmart.com/…/running-scripts-befor…
    
    If that doesn’t work out of the box, it’s likely because you’re hitting S1 instead of S3, but give that test script a shot and let me know how it goes!
