I appreciate the advice and suggestions -- but how would someone have a clue to do any of this? The Handbook's X11 chapter doesn't mention them. As for nvidia-drm-kmod: g1-70(14.0-S)[1] cd /usr/ports/ g1-70(14.0-S)[2] cat graphics/nvidia-drm-kmod/pkg-descr FreeBSD port of Linux's nvidia-drm.ko Kernel module. I suppose that might provide some information for someone familiar with "Linux's nvidia-drm.ko Kernel module," but I certainly don't qualify, so I have no idea (from that) that it might possibly be useful. Nor can I tell if this is to augment another driver (graphics/drm-61-kmod, for the Intel device), or even x11/nvidia-driver-390. Sorry to be rather grumpy -- what I had (with x11/nvidia-driver-390) had been working OK from before stable/10 through stable/12. The (apparent) change with 13 to require graphics/drm-kmod to get functional suspend/resume is the main reason I delayed migrating off of stable/12 for so long. (I much prefer having the machine sleeping while it's in a rucksack on my back while I'm cycling....) Peace, david --=20 David H.
