Using the latest NVIDIA driver, upon resuming from suspend while X is running the display will remain blank. Additionally, and OpenGL applications that were running will trigger a number of error messages from the NVIDIA driver resembling the following: NVRM: GPU at PCI:0000:05:00: GPU-e0851a46-0a85-f806-1e95-94e61ad45653 NVRM: GPU Board Serial Number: 0331118033409 NVRM: Xid (PCI:0000:05:00): 13, Graphics SM Warp Exception on (GPC 0, TPC 1): Illegal Instruction Encoding NVRM: Xid (PCI:0000:05:00): 13, Graphics Exception: ESR 0x504e48=0x3f0009 0x504e50=0x0 0x504e44=0xd3eff2 0x504e4c=0x17f NVRM: Xid (PCI:0000:05:00): 13, Graphics SM Warp Exception on (GPC 0, TPC 2): Illegal Instruction Encoding NVRM: Xid (PCI:0000:05:00): 13, Graphics Exception: ESR 0x505648=0x3f0009 0x505650=0x0 0x505644=0xd3eff2 0x50564c=0x17f This is because the efifb back-end for vt will not signal the X server to release the display before suspending (or to re-acquire it after resuming) resulting in important code in the NVIDIA driver responsible for smoothly shutting down and re-initializing the GPU not running. Since the NVIDIA driver doesn't currently support framebuffer devices, vt is forced to fall back to this efifb back-end, unlike on Intel hardware, for instance, where it will instead use the fb back-end that does correctly implement the display hand-off logic. The following patch adds vd_suspend and vd_resume members to the efifb back-end's vt_driver struct. These simply call the vt_suspend and vt_resume functions from vt_core.c (similar to the behavior of the fb back-end). This ensures the X server is properly able to re-initialize the display and prevents the above errors from 3D applications. --- sys/dev/vt/hw/efifb/efifb.c (revision 345767) +++ sys/dev/vt/hw/efifb/efifb.c (working copy) @@ -66,6 +66,8 @@ .vd_fb_mmap = vt_fb_mmap, /* Better than VGA, but still generic driver. */ .vd_priority = VD_PRIORITY_GENERIC + 1, + .vd_suspend = vt_suspend, + .vd_resume = vt_resume, }; static struct fb_info local_info;

I have the same problem, and this patch works for me. Running 12-RELEASE (amd64) with a NVIDIA 1070. Anything preventing this from being committed? I'm happy to test if needed.

Additionally OpenGL applications that were running triggered a number of error messages from the NVIDIA driver. This occurred because the vt efifb back-end did not signal the X server to release the display before suspending (or to re-acquire it after resuming). The NVIDIA driver includes code for smoothly shutting down and re-initializing the GPU, which was not getting called. Since the NVIDIA driver doesn't currently support framebuffer devices and vt is forced to fall back to the efifb back-end, add vd_suspend and vd_resume members to connect the suspend/resume path. This ensures the X server is properly able to re-initialize the display.
