I'm using Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and nvidia-340.
With the nvidia drivers enabled I cannot resume from suspend.
I can recover from suspend when I switch to the intel driver or if I use nouveau drivers.
I tried updating the kernel but that didn't solve the issue.
Any way to solve this with the nvidia proprietary drivers?
If not, will I lose a lot of performance by using the nouveau drivers instead of proprietary nvidia?
Suspend/Hibernate/Resume is customizable to add special handling for your graphics card through the pm-utils (utilities and scripts for power management) package. Read the man pages for pm-action, pm-powersave, pm-is-supported, pm-suspend-hybrid, pm-hibernate, pm-suspend, and read the files in /usr/share/doc/pm-utils/.
pm-utils where it goes, and pm-utils is what stops/restarts it now

By using the latest nvidia-driver-495, I could reset the boot parameters. All back to normal ...
Updated
Adding the following boot parameters (to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT) did the trick for me:
acpi_osi=! acpi_osi="Windows 2009"
[double quotes " need to be escaped with backslash \ in /etc/default/grub]

System consist out of:
As a workaround (no longer working ...) for me is suspending via the command line (thus not using the topbar "Suspend" nor closing the lid - or the hooks from pm-suspend as I understand):
systemctrl suspend
Short answer, whats happens - in resume process Linux (+systemd) forget to turn on monitor. So to solve problem only just need to turn on monitor.
Short solution (fast test is it helps for you or not)
Ctrl+Alt+F1, you see login prompt, login as normal user (not root) and do (one line command):
chvt 7 ; sleep 3; xrandr --display :0.0 --auto
Long solution
Install 360 driver and install all nvidia-*.service & install /usr/bin/nvidia_sleep.sh
Install 470 driver (which does not contains this systemd services in /usr/share/doc/nvidia-* folders).
Edit /usr/bin/nvidia_sleep.sh
and in resume section after chvt command add under your xserver user:
sleep 3; xrandr --display :0.0 --auto
Also need to add root (may be other) as XServer user, so under your working XSession you need to allow root to execute xrandr: edit /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc and add:
xhost +localhost
or
xhost +root@localhost
check it works:
sudo su -l xrandr
should work.
